This years seed report 2010
Tried intense light from Jump Start and the plants look good. Started with aged fluffy dry ( not sieved for more air) compost in small plastic squares about 2 ". Supplied bottom heat and made damp and kept sort of damp. No fugus (Damp off) appeared and looks like ~ 80 % came on. Usually I'd take plants that were stretching for light to a cold frame but this year right to the bed. Two nites ago 31.8 F. Currently have Mexican sunflowers 2 inches and looking happy along with patty pan squash. Hope all can tolerate partial sun. I know most can but it light got be thinking about taking down another 1 or 2 oaks but this with oak rust about so it is a slow decision. On heat moon flowers, nasturtiums and red morning glories. http://xrl.us/bhjowu Bill -- łThat means on average 18 veterans commit suicide each day." Five of those veterans are under our care at VA. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/01/ 12/2010-01-12_army_suicide_.html#ixzz0m7nSNTq8 |

Small particle size would be compacted and perhaps damp off likes it that way. No gaps to jump. Bill |

Depending on where you live and garden, some of these plants have no chance, at becoming weeds. Germination requires optimal conditions to get your investment in money, time, and labor back. Normally, if special conditions are required, like chilling in a refrigerator for 4 months, scaring of the seed, or no sunlight until germination, it will say so on the packet. Sterilize your germinating medium, keep moist, i.e. give your plants their best chance. When they are big, they will have to fend for themselves against soil, temps, and sun. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |
