And 30 hrs after a 12 hr soak...the 839 Sandercock. This is our first time growing a proven seed...not sure if that matters but sure increases the confidence going in. Thanks again for seeds Ned...hope I doE you proud.

They look good to me...I put them right in...I'll curve them each 90 degrees and let them run...once they get to 8 ft I'll take chainsaw and run it right down the center...get rid of the nasty rootball of the unlucky survivor...we're growing baby!!!

I think I had Ned nervous for a minute...I would never treat such great seeds so poorly. The 839's are up and at it.

Well... the practice plants did ok with the 30 degree temps ...not so much the 25 it dipped down too last night...they cooked...I think with just a heater in front of them I would have been fine... I was right about growing the opposite direction though...a couple weeks more, chainsaw, boda bing boda bang.

The 839's went in...a little funky on the first leaves...that must be from the inside start..never had that trouble once we switched to starting in the greenhouse. They'll grow out of it.

Now that the patch is set, it's time to address this mess of a mater patch..I didn't even grow here last year...whenever we get more than 10 feet of snow it just stays wet all season...the ditch is helping to dry it out..guess it's time to talk tomatoes....
