Jonna, what I needed most as a beginner was an example of what was the right amount of water (damp but not soggy), and what a soil mix felt like and looked like when it was "light enough" or "drained well enough".

Caroline, if you want PDF copies of Dr. Deno's SG in T&P, send me an email address that I can send big files to. With the two supplements, that's 22 MB. The PDFs CAN be searched.

Anne, I also love that! I found it on the "VirtualSeeds.com" when they attributed it to T&M:
"The following seed germination guide is property of Thompson & Morgan.
This guide is out of print and not property of Virtual Seeds."
I found it necessary to copy the column titles or headings into the text every 20-30 lines.
I think it COULD be pulled into Excel as a fixed-field-length file.
