My seed selection this year was based on a preference for 1885.5 Werner and 1501 VanderWielen genetics. My top picks are the 1232 Dill, 2388.5 Liggett, 1886 Sexton, 1060.5 Maydan, but I've also got some other promising seeds like the 1348 Abbate and 1758 Palmberg. I checked on the seeds exactly 33 hours after finishing the 6 hour soak, and most of these seeds were already sprouting. The 1232 Dill had a slight lead on everything else, which is exciting, but to say it's still early would be an understatement. I'm a patient fellow, but when it comes to seedlings, I can't resist poking around in the soil to check for developments. I expect most of them to be breaking ground sometime tomorrow or Thursday.
My initial batch of my own seeds from last year yielded disappointing germination results, but a second test that accidentally included an 8 hour soak had an 8/10 success rate. Perhaps the seed shell was too thick, and a 6 hour soak was insufficient?
