MARCH MADNESS!!!!! the Illini are in the final four with
a win yesterday over arizona that might have been the best
comeback game i have ever witnessed. YEA BABYYYYYYYY!!!
unreal, surreal, damn right silly...whatever you want to
call it, it was a game for the ages. it was nice to see the
family at easter brunch today. once again, great food
at cog hill. this week my big zac seeds should arrive
and i will start them indoors asap with hopes of a big'n
or 2 for the fall weigh offs. i am off to a late start
compared to many, but oh well, i am a newbie to the giant
tomato thing and this year will be a learning process
with hopes of producing a 3 pounder.
the soil temp inside my 6' x 10' greenhouse is at 65 degrees
at 6 inches down. 14 inches under the the soil surface
is a 48 foot soil heating cable. one space heater on
high held temps over 60 degrees air temp on a 36 degree
night. today with sunlight and the sapce heater, it reached
95 on a 50 degree sunny day. i will adjust the thermostat
at a different position and monitor high low temps all
this week. the warmed soil in the greenhouse has the
weeds starting to sprout, which is a great sign.
and next satuday i will start one 1247 handy seed and 5
885 shenoha seeds. if i have a problem with the 1247
germinating, i will start my other 1247 seed 4 days later.
the best 885 will go side by side to the 1247 for backup.
one week and the pumpkin madness begins. gotta love it.
