so much for go time. lol. corn seed maggots took all but the 1725 harp down in a little over 24 hours since transplanting. i took a pic of the 1161 with at least 15 inside the chewed up stem and 10 on the outiside, but the pic didn't come out too good. it was a sickening feeling that i haven't had to feel before. so much for that vodoo blessing with my carving...lol. i have posted on the message board how i am trying to save the 1725 harp and i will treat all the soil in the greenhouses tomorrow with the products i detailed on the message board and will transplant 5 of my 1209 and 1493 backups in the treated soil tomorrow and backfill around the transplants with a sterile seed starter mix with all the products incorporated to act as a treated barrier for prevention and see how it works. if it doesn't work, the seeds i started tonight will go in. i started another 1725 harp that feels a little light and has just a slight hallow sound but i think is a good one along with another 1605 a 1286.5 daletas and 5 1209s and 5 1493s for round 2. if the system of prevention works on the 1725 in the ground and the backups i will transplant tomorrow, then i will be happier come next week when transplanting time comes again with round 2 of seeds. i will remove 2 of my backups if they survive with my treatments this week and grow the 1605 and 1725 if they germinate along with the other 1725 in the ground if it makes it. frustrating for sure, but not the end of the world. i am already over it some what, but that initial sighting on the 1161 and knowing all the potential was gone just like that with it filled with maggots, and then going plant to plant and dicovering them bastards was as bad as a feeling i have ever had in this hobby. so much for go time...lol.
