80.3 Karnuven(?sp)spit seedcoat and is unfurling... 121.25 and 127.25 Jutras are both up, 97 Lovelace sort of half rotted the cots off, and what's left has greened up and is unfurling. Have one more lifting... so estatic here... will definitely be able to do a Lovelace Green Hut trellis this year. Yeehah!

Nicely done. :) Just out of curiosity (I'm not growing LGs), how did you germ them?

Nipped the ears off and filed both of the long sides, soaked for 8 hours (seed soup) then blotter started... at 90f. When the first one burst, that was planted to dirt, and I sorted through and anything else showing signs they were going to, got potted. One felt funny and I opened it to find it was an airseed (no smell and no mush in it, nothing). I had one lose most of the cots (they rotted while it was trying to get the seedcase off... but it is still going (97 Lovelace). I got 4 of 7, I am pumped!

Okay, total is two of seven, still very happy. Need to finish their trellis tomorrow and get them planted. Sam Lovelace says he spaces his 8' apart so that will give me my green corner trellis hut after all :)
