go time! the line up changed as it usually does. hopefully if all sprout and are healthy i will be going with the 1647 Wallace, the 1723 Marshall, and the 1303 sweet. others started today are the 1789 Wallace and the 1560 Urena and another 1647. if one or more of the top 3 do not sprout or are mutants or unhealthy than the others will move in or be kept as backups incase corn seed maggots are a problem again. the ones left over in the end will go to local growers to try. also started were eight 1135 Sliwka seeds as promised to my buddy Greg. the best 3 go side by side to my top 3 as in ground back ups. Greg is rooting for tragedy to take down one of the big dogs so his plants win the spot and get a chance to get proven more. lol. the 1135 came from a 985 Werner seed that i gave Greg after vandals wrecked his sprouts one year. it then grew him a personal best of 1135 in a community garden with hand watering only and tons of disease pressure. it has the magic in my eyes and maybe some karma too. and it is crossed with one of the illinois all time best seeds, the 1119 McMullen. if one or possibly more 1135s win the spot down the road, i have full faith that it can compete with the other big dogs for patch supremecy. exciting time of the year for sure.
