Saturday, April 19 View Page Not sure if I can grow this year but will be starting seeds today for these two kins.   Saturday, April 19 View Page Seeds I started are 990 Swigert 1078 Gansert x 1747.5 Bailey (1885 x 2365) and the 977 Swigert 600.5 Young ( 1552 selfed) x 1747.5 Bailey. Hoping for big orange. Both plants had significant vine damage and should have been in the 1500 lb range. Hoping for the best.   Saturday, April 19 View Page I should also mention that these were grown by my Nephew Ryan who was a first year grower last year and I did a lot of mentoring because I was unable to grow. I did manage to grow the pollinator plant and there is good genetics all around.   Tuesday, April 22 View Page All 6 germinated yesterday and are up and thriving today. Time to transplant to larger grow containers for the next few weeks.   Tuesday, April 29 View Page Snowed Sunday morning so decided to transplant on Monday. A couple of beautiful afternoons and the kids have been soaking up rays in the front yard after transplanting to larger containers. All 1st leaves are up with 2nd ones showing. Been hi 20s lo 30s at night so it will be a while before they see dirt. Forecasting 40s at night for a while so things should warm up a little. Now I need somebody to unlock my phone so I can get some pics.
