When things go wrong around here they really go to crapp!!
2 weeks ago I made my choices as to what seed's were to be planted, My choices were the 847.5 Christensen (had 2) then the 704 Garrell (had 2) and the 600 Desrosiers (again had 2)
Filed the edges very carefully on all 6 seed's, soaked them for 6 hours and placed them in plastic bags with a damp paper towel, Sat them on the T-V and with great anticipation waited.
After 4 days I started to worry nothing had sprouted, now this is what I had done with some seed's last fall, I had 100% germination, after a week I am getting depressed after 9 days I took them all out to my patch and placed them in the heated mound I had prepared.At this point no germination.it is now 2 weeks and nothing!!!
The soil temp never went below 72 degree's and air temp inside my glass house never got below 60, Now you may ask yourself how does he know this??
I got up at 2 or 3 in the morning just to check and at 7:00 am and noon and
6,p.m. if you don't believe me you can call home and ask my wife!
What the heck did I do wrong??
Looks like I will have to plant my 110# seeds from last year just so my Pumpkin season doesn't end before it's started.
Just a little aggravated and yes I AM WHINING!!!
