Picture update: Here is the 1446 Eaton after 6 days--it's out! Slow to emerge, but perhaps not the best conditions. Next year I will definitely make changes to the germination stage. The 1195 VanKooten has the tip of it's seed out (other picture). Probably was a blessing that these seeds have sprouted slowly--I mean I still have to purchase and bury the soil cables and construct the mini greenhouse. Today I had to seed lettuce and carrots and dig up the rest of my regular vegetable garden. Still early, lots of time for growing. Slow and steady wins the race.

Bamboo update: The bamboo distributor agreed to replace my Moso plant with another one--it was perishing at an alarming rate. When i dug it up to return it the lady said it would survive--but she gave me another anyway. This second one is more robust and in better health generally. I am glad I returned it as the plant was $50 and I want it to get some good time in the soil before its first winter.
