The 1190 Northrup is the first seed to sprout. This is the seed that grew in about 90 square feet and gave us �Casper� (383 Blume) last year. Impressive in that small area (that�s what we keep telling ourselves). This is a good sign for the ole germination box. Hopefully its friends will follow long here shortly. After the starts begin to sprout we move them under a grow light. We keep the light just above the leaves. This keeps the plants nice and stocky. The light setup was built using an old aquarium stand and a cedar board that was a spare from the boards used to build the raised bed of the pumpkin patch.
