Update on Mark: he is doing remarkably well. They are talking about releasing him from the hospital today or tomorrow and letting him go to the hotel that is across the street from the hospital. If that goes well, they will let him come back to Louisiana Wednesday or Thursday. They have chartered a plane to bring him in to our local air strip so that he doesn't have to go through the normal travel nightmare.
My thanks to all of you that prayed. There is no doubt that prayers were answered.

My old bones are hankering for a warmer climate but it ain’t gonna happen so I’ll push on. Be 79 next month and I have been making compost since my mother had me dumping garden scrapes in a endless trench in 1939. (Ruth Stout had nothing on my Mother). I’ll get back to cutting the cover crop after I visit a couple of FRiends tomorrow then I’ll help my wife spade. Her seedlings are looking good in the greenhouse but we have to do daily slug patrol there and especially in the garden...

We used to put down a salt barrier to keep the slugs away from our sidewalk and yard. I think my Dad used rocksalt.

I wish you were in THIS warm climate, albeit kinda humid sometimes. You would be my very favorite neighbor. I pray that your bones hurt less.

Thank you again for all of your prayers. Mark is HOME!!! One week after departing for Mayo and undergoing open heart surgery, he is home. What a miracle.

Glad that Mark is home; there is no substitute for prayer.
Thanks for the seeds. According to the wise and all knowing internet, they can be planted direct or in starter pots. Whataya think?
And 8-15 years to bloom? I may not live THAT long!
To: rightly_dividing
I would start them in pots, with plenty of organic matter in the potting soil to hold the moisture better. I've become a big fan of coconut coir, but sphagnum moss is also good.
While it may be some years before you get blooms, you will have a nice green vine very quickly. My experience has been that wisteria grows several feet every year. Mine is under huge oaks, so it gets only a couple of hours of sun in the morning, and again in late afternoon.

Thanks. We have yard guys now so I will have to cage them for while after they go in the ground.
