Success with minimalist seed treatment. Just soaked for 8 hours in tap water, cut distal half seed edges and planted in Miracle Grow potting soil with some mycrochizia and kept air and soil at 70-72 deg. None of this soaking in sea weed solution, or baking 88 degree air where only germinated 2 out of 7. Now have a team of 6 and so the season is assured!
Still cold and rainy, but expect first sun in 8 days Sunday - then the first and best seedling goes to the cold frame. Testing cold frame with a pepper plant and spaghetti squash at 60-75 deg air and soil temp up to 62 deg with black plastic. Both plants thriving, so in goes the 1725 Haist '14, already 10" after repotting into a deeper pot last week.
