Team 2023: 8 on the first team, and those below the pencil 5 on the bench. Additional reserves in the mailing envelop. Plan to germinate 2 seeds each week for 3 or 4 weeks, working from top pair down, thus leading to planting 2 vines in opposite directions over cable in heated tent about April 15. Then another sprout side by side those the next week, etc. As usual, some will be lost along the way – stepped on, kinked, split stems, screwed up stem, froze because the breaker blew in the middle of a cold night etc. A “next up” will be available, hopefully leading to the difficult decision which one of opposite growing pairs will be culled to commit the season (Hate that day!). Sometimes method results in the 2 vines being as much as 2-3 weeks different in age. Careful reread here reveals my first 2 seeds rarely make it to May, so should I geminate the best 1st? NO! I save my best for 2nd planting. I’m sure everybody does this, so no new ideas here.
