Well seeds are sown and will wait patiently for sprouts. Will be using Messenger in hopes of a reduction of Powdery Mildew along with aspirin plus spray of Potassium bicarbonate.

And somehow, with this post, and looking at your pictures - spring just feels so much closer!!! These are germination test material for "Air Pruining Tray" - seeded on Jan 2, 2009, first ones were poking out just 4 days later. Today: Curious to see in few days what the roots look like with this "bottomless" cavity method. May even try to overwinter 1 or 2 at home (in hopes for the early spring) - but that is pushing it!

good one!
You all with photos are making me jealous! It won't be until late March for me to see seedlings. Ray, I'll send you some hot dogs for the tomatoes. So with the Molson, you'll be all set for a cookout. Remy

Hey Remy,
I am ready!!! What I wouldn't do for a Zweigles (or Hydes) White Hotdog right now. Just typed in "Zweigles" and there indeed is a Company that will ship you by FedEx, a 3 pound bag of them for $46.00. At $15.00+ per pound that seems outrageous - - but I am tempted....... https://www.nystyledeli.com/cgi-bin/deli/3-lbs.html Raybo |

I say go for it!!! Nothing like those whites on the grill and a nice frosty one in hand. Maybe you will get a hot spell and can rest in de tub and take a picture of your winter harvest at hand. George |

Here we are at 8 days post-seeding. I REALLY need to get these over to Roy and Shelly, they are getting too leggy! (I don't have a dedicated light set-up.)
Also I was mistaken earlier: the "precocious" sprout is not a pepper, it is actually a Golden Gem! None of the peppers or eggplant have sprouted yet.
