Nopic - updates... [note: when I say 'pull' 'pulled' it is a seed being taken out of seedbank, not a plant being terminated. Those would be 'culled']
After last week's loss of 8 of 9 sprouts, I pulled seconds of all the seeds other than the 1427 Kopp, which I only had one. A 1248 Ford was pulled for that.
Soaked late Sunday, today I have 1248 Ford, 1112 Barenie, and a furry 897 Finders all showing sprout. Rest should be soon. Fixing and warming pots now for those first three. Still in sprouter, 1009 Young, 1357 Ghaye, 542 Barenie, 836 Gansert, 1156 Hunt. Yes I am a member of GVGO and that 1156 is going in my patch if it goes. The others are going to return season Grower Club members... so they will see dirt.
I think the great loss of everything but the 566.5 Van Hook last week was a bit too much moisture, thanks everyone that *discussed* that with me! Yes I feel bad but it was a working method... It's a bummer to be starting a season and lose great seeds like that, but honest, I thought I had it down perfect and was getting 100% last spring... with the humble pie scarfed and the butt kick(s), I continue my season.
I will post patch pictures probably this weekend, AFTER I get the hoop watering plumbing working. The first 7; 783 Huff, 1026 Young, 1100 Hester, 893 Privitera, 275 Van Hook, 475.5 Bourne, 641 Andrews, are all happy and just need to get 'land and run' figured out. Bummed about the 1446 Werner, and will be. I thank you Frank for the seed...
566.5 Van Hook is going to a grower club grower this weekend, it's just at starting to show that first leaf and hoist. They grew last year, they got their patch ready, hoop up, and they are all excited. They will be part of the big pollen swap, too.
Mist Blower came, need to try it out yet. Thank you Tony Vanderpool. Pictures to come.
