Good morning Jim,

The tiny-weeny dead soon stage sounds awfully like damping-off.  I wouldn`t 
worry about direct sunlight, I germinate all my seeds in a greenhouse that 
receives direct sun and gets very hot all day everyday :-)  Also, I 
germinate my seeds in STERILE potting mix so I avoid damping-off.

Take care and hope this answered your questions.

got quick 90% germination,
basically the same as if they were tomato seeds. They grew fast in
pots the first year. Then they went downhill.


Yes, I have had good germination and then they'd go downhill in a matter of
weeks.  I should go look in my book, bet I have all the info needed at home.
Let me suggest that you grow them in very light, even sandy soil and keep
them out of direct sun.  The one plant I had that survived, for several
years in fact, was down by the creek in the woods, on a slope in high
organic matter soil.  I had bought the plant, so that put it past the teeny
weeny soon dead stage.    Donna
