How are the proposed tests going ?????, has anyone actualy tried anything yet to get a result !!!,

Perhaps if someone strapped a docimeter back to back with a max/min thermometer ( greenhouse type cheaply available ) it would give both radiation results, and temp results all in one go, and then sent them on a series of different postal pathways through the worst effected areas criss crossing the USA- it would give the answer we have all been hoping for.

If it did not give the required results and everything was within acceptable perameters and not OTT, then we could rule that as the cause and look for something else instead.


It would be very unwise to ignore the problems and not carry out some sort of testing this season, as the problems could only get worse rather than better- next season might well bring terrible germination results to lots of people.

Since Lots of people have said on here that lots of the seeds they got from Tomatofest didnt germinate after they had been sent through the post- has anyone thought of contacting the owner ( Gary Ibsen ) in California to see if he has had noticable feedback of this problem, we might be able to help him too.

If not- then it must be something to do with transit outside that area into other states and countries overseas.

Obviously lots of the non germination problem seed came from other scources as well as those mentioned above, but I wonder if any of those have been suffering in silence with the problem and not trying to solve it -if any .
