1789est Wallace ’11 (F: 1725 Harp x M: 1810.5 Stevens)

Seed was placed in the propagation chamber on April 14th and it was planted in the cold frame on April 28th

This plant was stated a little latter than the rest as the first 1789est that I had failed to produce a vine! There were cotyledons, but then that was it. This resulted in the back-up being started a few days later than I would have liked and it took a little longer than normal to produce a radical but at least I was able to get a plant going.

As you can see the area around the plant has a lot of weeds and this was done on purpose. The weeds were allowed to grow (even though they will be pulled out later) so the roots and exudates they produce can help increase the soil biology around the initial plant site.
