Thank you both for the quick reply. This website has sooooo many forums I had no idea it had one just for saving seeds! I guess I'm gonna have to search all interest next time and probably will answer my own questions, haha. On the other hand I won't see websites such as the seed site, oh what a resource, could spend days on that. Having fun, hope to be sharing seeds soon.

Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Ace Hardware and many others. Depends on inside diameter as to if regular hose repair parts will work. click link. just one of many on line sites that have fittings for 5/8" OD Soaker Hose. Here is a link that might be useful: Drip Works

Hi and welcome to the forum! FFO means first flower out (first to bloom in the season). I am so sorry to hear of your losses. If you will send me an e-mail, I will send you a long and very detailed reply regarding seed-starting and ways to mark your crosses, as well as how to protect your seedlings. My e-mail address is posted here if you click on my name. Nancy
