| Ok..so I have seeds for the following in moist ziplock baggies of vermucilte in frig since 12/13/08. How long do I leave them until I can sew them? I read somewhere not to cover seeds when sewing....True?
I.scabrida
I also had I.bafourii as above but they sprouted in the bag so I sewed them 1/11/09. Now I'm hoping to keep them going under light on a heat mat until it's safe to plant out which is going to a long time yet. Will they suvive inside? Peggy |

| Peggy I think it is safe to sow them anytime now and balfouri should be fine till then. I would not be surprised to see them self sow for you next year. |
|
| Mr.I, Thanks for your reply. Is it alright to put them on the heat mat or in my un-heated greenhouse? Peggy |

| I sewed my impatiens in the un-heated greenhouse. All had sprouted in the baggies except the I.scabrida Peggy |

| Peggy I think they should be okay on the mat inside the un-heated greenhouse. They may grow quickly that way though. Give scabrida a chance sometimes they like to wait before sprouting. |

| I dumped the bags of the impatiens in 5.5" pots. The I. glanulifera are coming up like gangbusters and are at the beginning of their first true leaves. A bit crowded so I need to dibble them out to their own pots. I think I read they don't like root disturbance so would this be the best time to pot them up? |
