I successfully germinated both of my new seeds. Picture above is one of them on Day 2/3. I started treating these new seedlings with insecticide from Day 1. It helped and it worked. The corn seed maggots were getting to my seedlings fast and early and although I didnt want to have to use insecticide, I was going to have to do something about it. Photo above is one of the newest plants. My 1131 Gansert 10 was still holding on. It lost both cot leaves from the maggot rot and was holding on by it's 1 true leaf. It was stunted for 2-3 weeks but somehow it held on. I was nurturing it as much as I could to get it to survive.
