The answer is, don't ask, just do it!

Mojo,
Aaaah - - I sense a "competition" is on!! Started these in Rapid Rooters on December 23: I've had germination in all 33 Rooters (I plant two seeds per Rooter since occasionally some of the seeds do not germinate), then I will snip the under-performing seedling in 4 weeks: I have been taking out the tray only into the sunshine for an hour or two every other day or so to expose them to wind, etc. Raybo |

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! Regards, D |

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.

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
