Well, I believe you gave me ten of each variety I requested. I am staggering planting, so I sowed seven and the remainder I will sow in a week or two. Maybe that percentage will go higher in round two. Everything else looks great, and I am looking forward to trying them out if I can hold back the insects and diseases. |

Worth,
They sure look good. What varieties did you end up starting? I have 24 plants in 20 oz cups and another 24 still in pellets and am going to start another 10 in pellets this week. I seeded the first 12 on Christmas and then 12 more on New Years and the other 24 on Jan 6 &7. MikeInCypress

Worth1, it's been close to ten days, and they sprouted in the 70 to 75 degree range. My lights won't let it get much cooler than that, especially while these outside temps are staying warm. I will have to say that your seedlings are huge for only being 25 days.

Worth, I believe the right name for Okarovanie is Ocharovanie in your list. The name means "Charm" in Russian. Indet. RL plant with bright-orange globe fruit, 80-100 g, born in clusters where fruits are very close to each other, the taste is on the sweet side.

Seeds were sown on the 13th, they still look small for that age.

Aww. It shouldn't be that stressful. It was actually kind of relaxing for me.

Living in Prudhoe Bay and Bastrop Texas, you must have been in the oil bidnes some between your hippie years. Those are great looking seedlings!
