After two weeks of horribly cold weather and clouds and permanent rain (last weeks of May) the patch had been flooded a little bit (June 2/3). Well, the plants hadn�t had a dive, but on their little mounds (about 4 inch high) they still suffered the high ground water level and the cold soil. Even after 3 weeks of significantly better weather most of the plants didn�t kick back into normal gear, apparently their roots are just damaged too much. This is my 854.5 Frei, a plant which had been started on March 28th and which was way ahead of my 2012 plants until mid May. I will leave it in the patch for a little while, just to see when the little 854.5 Frei (2) will overtake. Sown on June 17th this little one should benefit from the (now) warm soil and have a good start. A unique experiment, never thought that I would start AG seeds mid June.
