Haven't had time to take pictures and get my notes together until today. This looks like the picture is sideways but it is actually an overhead shot of the 1056 Holland I planted on the 18th. It took 5 days to emerge and I am kind of bummed that it has split cotyledons and is looking kind of leggy despite having been real close to lights since the day it emerged. A positive is though, the first leaf is really starting to develop. The 972 which was planted at the same time has yet to show itself. I dug it up on the 17th and it was nice and solid. I think I just didn't file enough. Seems to have a thicker shell than most.
Filed,soaked,and let sit overnight in oven 4 more seeds:
1462 Holland-08 (1092 martin x 998 pukos)
1277.5 Holland-10 (1400 holland x 1725 harp)
1211.5 Holland-10 (1505 holland x 1725 harp)
892 Holland-10 (991 urena x 901 hunt)
When I took them out of the paper towels it seemed like they were going to burst into plants in my hand. They looked real good. Went into 4" peat pots at noon and are in the germination box. Lunch is over need to get back at it. Need to make a batch of Compost Tea and have two cords of wood coming in a couple of hours that will need to be put away.
After several days of temperatures in the 70's and 80's, highs are supposed to plummet into the 40's by Friday.
