Marshall, these are so very impressive.  I will get better about using my
convection oven!!  We apparently need to take axes to all our microwave
ovens!!!    I sprouted some seeds using microwaved water and non-microwaved
water.  Both were filtered water.  And the seeds sprouted just fine--both
sets.  So I was not very careful about microwaving.  Rethink in order it
seems.  pj
