Dear Kim,

Thanks for a great letter. May we use it in our next newsletter?
There are many things people try but the best thing is to rinse the seed
5 times, soak only 6 hours, and then rinse again 5 times. The mold control
is grapefruit pulp, seed extract. Put one dropperful into the soak water.
Most times it will help. Another thing you can spray 3 percent H202 on the
roots when you uncover. Sometimes that can help. Mainly she probably won't
have trouble after the weather gets cooler. Wheat does best in a sunny but
cool
place. 50 degrees to 70 degrees.

I hope this will help.

Kind regards,
KK Fowlkes
