--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.

. . . Yeh, I just added :Get it Now" to some of them as an experiment since there seem to be a lot of folks interested.

. . . Put the barrier back when they've only half eaten them, let the plants recover some, cycle back & forth between barrier & no barrier.

. . . Since your chickens appear to also be meat eaters, throw in all your extra squirrels...AC2DL (Almost choked to death laughing)
