Well the first batch didn't germ (rotted, guessing too wet) so nothing has seen dirt yet. Did get a couple of LG going but already killed one trying to help it along shedding it seed. Started another batch but don't have a second Mohr or Sperry ... going to try Horton orange this round. Probably a good thing they didn't pop as someone, and I'm not pointing fingers, is blowing that colorado weather south.

THIS EVENING YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT THE FOUR PS... PEOPLE... PETS... PLANTS... PIPES.
Wow and probably a good thing I didn't fix my solar heater manifold. Dang thing shatered during last freeze. It's a bad design as freeze protection kicks in to circulate, but I've learned a solar collector at night is cooler not a heater -- or should I say freeze breaker. Well it gave me time for mre things but I still havent downloaded pictures for diary :P next time!
