	I had no real problem keeping the peat pots damp, but they
	did have a tendency to grow mold on the outside.  At trans-
	plant time I had to peel off the peat, thus defeating the easy
	planting benefit of the peat pots.  On the plus side, since

	Yup.  I planted the best, gave some away, bought containers
	for others and *still* had to say adios to seven or eight plants.
