Mollie, it can take a longer time that you might expect. . . depends on what your temperatures are like where you live. I sowed my first round of WS seeds in Feb. 9th but have seen no sign of green sprouts yet--nor did I expect to here on the Cape (zone 7a) . You don't actually want seeds to sprout too soon, and then be done in by a spring frost. Usually Mother Nature takes care if it just fine.
