And 30 hrs after a 12 hr soak...the 839 Sandercock. This is our first time growing a proven seed...not sure if that matters but sure increases the confidence going in. Thanks again for seeds Ned...hope I doE you proud.

They look good to me...I put them right in...I'll curve them each 90 degrees and let them run...once they get to 8 ft I'll take chainsaw and run it right down the center...get rid of the nasty rootball of the unlucky survivor...we're growing baby!!!

I think I had Ned nervous for a minute...I would never treat such great seeds so poorly. The 839's are up and at it.

If the weather wasn't turning to shit I'd be a happy camper right now...gotta channel Dale and Don and get these puppies in... that's why we do cables right?
