Chris, I work at a local garden center and have spotted HVX on Hanky Panky. I pulled all of them off the retail floor and informed my boss. Advised him he should pull all the plants from that supplier (Dutch). And not order from them again. We played the scenario last year and all he did was throw o...

Good luck with your Galaxy seeds. If you decide not to plant them yet they will keep nicely in the freezer. We put our seeds in sealed, marked coin envelopes into a plastic bag. They don't take up much room that way and they are easy to get at when we are ready to plant more.

I want to see a pic of you getting that shot...talk about crazy
