well, the fighting ILLINI gave it a nice run this year, but
couldn't hit the 3 pointers when it counted the most
against NC. they lived and died all season with
shootings 3's, and in the end, they couldn't hit the shots.
oh well, so now its baseball season and the whitesox
won their first 2 games in dramatic fashion, but let
todays game get away from them in the 9th. 2-1 against
the Tribe is ok with me to start the year. should be an
interesting season and i have high hopes for the playoffs
come october.
here is my 1247 handy sprout at 6 days from starting
the night of april 1st. all of my first batch of seeds
got a slower start due to the soil starting mix being
too wet. this caused my anxiety level to kick up a notch
higher than it already normally runs. i started 4 more
seeds on april 4th just in case when i didn't see any dirt pushing up on day 3 for the first batch. with a better
moisture level in my mix, the second batch are all up today
above ground on day 3 with only one left to shed its shell.
so 10 for 10 is good, but i only need the 1247 and one
other planted backup for myself. tonight i started a
1446 eaton for my buddy Timmer's early plant now that he
also wants to have a state fair plant. he can put one of
the other backups side by side to the 1446 if it
successfully germinates. the leftover sprouts will be
held onto a minimum of 3 days as backups in their 12" by 6"
transplant containers and then terminated. no sense putting
in root bound backup plants if i have trouble with my early
plants. if i have any doubts about my keeper early plant's
progress come may 1st, i will rip it out and put a fall
weighoff plant in that spot. hoping the 1446 goes well
for Timmer because i will use it as a male pollinator for
the 1247. jack larues 1109 grown from the 1247 was almost
20% heavy, and the 1446 was 20% heavy, so this might be a
heavy duty cross in theory.
