Well, I can finally relax a bit, I'm finally ready to get the season underway. Here is what I have in the ground under hoop house's.
1068 Wallace
1450 Wallace
1231 Pukos
805 Pukos
1462 Gibson
1402 Bosworth (2 plants)
1071 Houghton
1407 Hemphill
Wickless '07

I was going to plant about 4 more plants, but with all that's going on with my Dad who's in the hospital and my personal life, I'm just gonna go with these plants I have planted, I think they are gonna be some good ones, hopefully.

Only seed I had trouble with was the 1502 Wallace seed, I really dont know what happened to it, it came up fine but just stalled on me, it has only one cot leaf and is a really skinny lanky seedling that looks like its never been fed, it's really lagging behind the rest of my seedlings. I'm still gonna keep it around as a back up just in case something happens, and will probably plant it anyway once the weather is warmer and no signs of frost are in its future,I really dont have the time or gumption to make another hoop house.

My over all best plants is my 1450 Wallace, 1231 Pukos, 1402 Bosworth and the 1071 Houghton.

The 1071 Houghton is a picture perfect seedling, I just hope she grows as good as she looks. I'm impressed with how this seedling has grown so far and I'm kinda kicking myself in the ass now for not putting this seedling in a better spot in my patch, but the spot I have her in should be OK, I have done a lot of work to this 1000sq ft and the soil is reading better and looking better for me every year. Its shaping up nice, but its not perfect.
