even when they are this small its worth ensuring they are planted on top of a mound to deter stem rot.

I did,nt intend setting any away this early.  They were loose seed in the bottom of my box, i did not know how old they were or what types so not being a waistfull  person they went in and got exelent germination.
Had a bit of a think about it and the only seed i have ever bought apart from Carmen are Marketmore.
They may help someone out.
