well the plans might be changing again depending on this second 1725 harp sprout. it was having a tough time shedding its seed coat. and then i found out why. the semi-light feel and the hollow sound just at the tips was due to under developed cots inside the seed. they are smaller than the actual seed coat and already have a transparent look in the centers that will most likely turn white and possibly turn into small holes from my past experience. for the first to push dirt, yet the last to shed its seed coat along with the smaller formed cots, i have to feel something is up with it. maybe just a little premie state, but the only seed i have had similar sounding and feeling and then showing the smaller cots was an 842 many moons ago. it was also the first to push dirt and last to shed its coat and needed help to do so before rotting inside the shell. but it had smaller developed cots then this 1725. these are about 3/4s size and the 842 back then was more like 2/3s the size of the actual shell. it may surprise me now that it has the seed coat off and gets some energy going. it will have a chance to prove itself out over the next 3 or 4 days to see what it can do. the 1209s are the 2 best looking plants in the patch right now and this sprout will have to make the grade before i even pull out one of the 1209s backups to put this one. this is my honey hole and i will be proud to prove out the 1209 if needed that was grown in the same exact spot last year. maybe another sign? maybe not? lol. time will tell. i am just happy to see the sun out for 2 days and both the pumpkin plants and tomato plants are plants loving it too.
