Thanks Bob. This year I'm IN! Last year was 0:17 so I'm pumped.

Started mine May 6,which is earlier than ideal,but I want a comfortable window to start a second batch later,if need be.
My rule-of-thumb for LGs is to start 10-15 days after the best local date for AGs.

134.25 didn't germinate, so I will be going with their 110 along with a 122 Eaton. The 110 is starting its first true leaf.

Put 8 in, one was airseed (felt weird, split it open, it never even had mush in it) and two had cracked end so should be doing roots right now; one is breaking dirt with green! 3:8, or 3:7 and one airseed. So far. I am PUMPED!

JBL--the 109 takes 6-10 days and I get about a 50% germination rate--my experience FYI.---AE
PS--but it is worth the wait

Thanks for the info Al, I just planted a couple more 109's today. I always try to wait couple weeks before I give up on them.

125.25 Jutras is out of seedcase and making green... seeing one 80.3 Karvenin (can't spell it, sorry) and one 97 Lovelace starting to hoist from dirt. Weee! I'm just so happy to have some this year!

I have to tell ya, my little experiment with getting an early start is proving to be a challenge. I have two 107.5 Attaway's growing outside and lots more inside including 5 of my favorite 95 Seca 2000. Tonight's low is -1. Lots of heat for the outside plants and the Seca Plants are dark green and looking awesome. Hoping to cross the two for a quasi 109 Eaton. 107.5 Attaway ( 88.5 Eaton x self ) x 95 Seca and reverse. Also a 96 Knox that is kicking at the gates, I like the diversity here. Going to be a great season.
