Ahh, Spring is sprung & I am ready to start my seeds.
Of course, the Maters have been started long ago & are growing well.
I have 3 spots for plants, 800-850 sq ft.
As I have done in the past, with the exception of last year, I will start seeds in designations of Green Squash, Atlantic Giant-Huge & Orange.
At each spot I place the 3 most vigorous plants & after a month, after the vines have touched down, I cull to the best plant.
If all 12 of my seeds germinate, I will have spares to give away.
These seeds have had their edges sanded & are soaking in water at 89 degrees with Humic, Seaweed, Essential & H2O2 for 3 hours.
Then they will go into 3” Cowpots with Burpee Organic Seed Starting Mix & placed into my egg incubator at 89 degrees & around 90% humidity.
It is necessary to soak the Cowpots, otherwise they will rob the seed starting mix of their moisture & adversely affect germination.
So the pic shows on the left the seeds:
1935.5 Jutras, 1701 Jutras, 1511.5 Haist & 1306 Pierpont.
In the center the biggies:
2416.5 Haist, 2252 Paton, 2157 Paton & 1916 Barron.
On the right the Orange:
1780.5 Wagner, 1567 D. Gantner, 1501.5 Wagner & 1148 Lengerich.
Woohoo, can’t wait!
