--Grow throughout US. Wild seedlings show mid/late spring usually before last frost. Some germinate into summer.

--Germination increases w/ light, strong day & night temp fluctuation, & nitrogen. Mix compost, high nitrogen fertilizer or a generous amount of coffee grounds (contain 2% nitrogen) into bed.

--Mix the seeds with an inert material (sand, vermiculite, sawdust, peat moss) slightly damp so the seeds will stick (about 1/2 quart for each 10 sq. ft.) & broadcast over the area. Best germination occurs on top of the soil or at a depth no greater than 1/10 inch. Rake very lightly or not at all. Water in.

--3% are brown & germinate easily. Most black w/ varying dormancy. Some viable for decades. 10-30% germinate this season. That's why 200+ seeds. Rest germinate next season & next, etc. Transplant easily w/ almost no setback.

--One plant produces 30,000 -750,000+ seeds. If you let one go to seed in place, the next season you'll be harvesting 'em like miccrogreens or pulling 'em as weeds.

BREAKING NEWS
- - - - The possessive apostrophe in "Lamb's quarters" has been removed in this & all future listings of the seeds. Why?
- - - -People unknown, claiming to be variously, representatives of rock groups named lamb, lawyers for Gwen Stefani's product line & the executor of the estate of Mary's Little Lamb (that it's deceased must be true - no little lamb could live that long) are demanding a percentage of the credits as royalties. They say the quarters belong to them.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

. . . My PO closes at noon EST on Saturday. I always have a clerk hand cancel rather than drop it in a mail box.

. . . The seeds are ready to go awaiting only an address.

. . . If the winner clicks on that address button within 15 minutes of auction end (might take Listia 5 minutes to enable the button. Refresh the page after 5 minutes) I will have time to get to the PO before it closes. If not the seeds will be mailed 1st thing Monday.
