You can buy the lid opener on Amazon:

Temperature-activated cold frame lid opener

The cold frame I ordered on CostCo.com and it came with one as part of the package.

Quite a difference between germination by vendor. This is a great apples-to-apples comparison, since all seeds were treated exactly the same way. Approx. 600-800 seeds per tray. Have not (yet) tracked germination rate.

Do you have a table to connect the numbers with vendors?
I'm sorry if I'm missing it.

Use them to replace/graft foliage on ponderosa pines.
I would think you would want a lot for that purpose.

 

[Bilbo_Baggins]

If I have it sorted out, is #4 "seeds-on-sale"?
I can't seem to figure out where they are.
Is this an eBay or Amazon seller?

I bought my JBP from Schumacher, but yield rates are less than thrilling so looking for alternatives.

Thanks

My guess is number 4 is treeseeds.com they send a lot of extra seeds
