Oh I didn't realize that. I have not been successful with any of my seeds for breeding if I start them in the ground. I'm in the Seattle area though and the rain can become a real problem. I start them indoors and then plant them out when they are strong enough. What are your thoughts on starting indoors and transplanting outside? Do you think it weakens the plant at all or even affects it in someway? Have you ever started yours indoors and then planted outside later? Were your results different?
