Balvenie, I saw your comment about wanting to grow Meconopsis from seed. I actually got mine started last year under lights in the basement. 28 out of 50 seeds germinated. I kept the shop lights far enough away to keep the soil temp down to 60 F. I sowed them in Ball mix because it contains no lime. The peat pellets have lime in them. Trouble is, they got some sort of fungal (?) infection after they were about 4-5" tall, when I was hardening them off (and so did a lot of my other starts).
It was so tempting ... I think I'll try it again. Anyone have any organic-type suggestions on protecting them from infection?
