That was why I did the screening last year. I started 140 tobacco seeds (multiple seeds in each obviously) but didn’t even get one to germinate that I know of. But the odd part was that out of that bag of soil no other seeds germinated either. I normally start 3 or 4 times the seeds I will actually end up setting out so was lucky that I had used other soil as well or I don’t know if I would have had any to set out. I have some of those tobaccos seeds left I should try again maybe.
If you want to do that, I'll Freepmail you my address and you can send me a stamped envelope with your address on it.
Of course, all bets are off if the cancer gets me first. ;)
