Not sure where to even start this post.....

Let me see, the season started off bad, first my 1092 and 845 did not germinate. I think next year I will forgo testing my germination method all together. I had 12 test seeds germinate without failure this winter, go figure.

Then came my 752 problem. I germinate two, cuz i really wanted to grow one this year. Both came up with curly cots, looked like something had been eating them. Then after 1 week of being in the patch, the first true leaf on both was small, deformed, and had gotten sun burned. After another 10 days it was obvious that the plants where not going to make it. The first leaf was still the same size, and the second leaf wasn't even coming.

And lastly, some animal got my 695. Cut it right off at just above ground level.

That leaves my 805 from the original 5 I wanted to grow. It at least is going on its 5th true leaf and appears to be normal. All other spots have been replanted with either my 628 or 638 from last year. They are all at least 2 weeks behind where I should be right now.

Not a good start at all.
