Hi are you ok for seeds! We have some spare 1173 Paton seeds grown off the 1421 Stelts so good genetics. If you need some give me a postal address and I can send you some ASAP

Practice makes perfect....

Practice germinating with seeds you don't care about. It took me 2 months my first time to get even one seed to germinate. I went through many many seeds and lots of small adjustments during that 2 months. Now I can germinate virtually everything I put in my germination box.

My season last year pretty much ended after I put out the only plant I was going to grow. I was standing about 40' away admiring my little plant when a starling flew in, walked over to it, and just bit the thing off at the ground. Stuff happens!

Pray to Ganesha, the Hindu god of good fortune. Works for me.

don't rebuild your germination box at the last minute after your practice germinations have been perfected.

Also watch your temps closely Thermostat failure just happened. Temp went to 128 degrees for about ten hours. 11 toasted seeds. start over.

Each day you must face the direction of your weighoff site and pray to the great pumpkin. Don't forget to dump some of your 40 oz in the patch for your hommies. The curse should lift.
