HYB: Germination

Happy to hear it, Linda.

My first batch of seeds went in the crisper on 7/24.  To date I've found
318 sprouts from 512 seeds, all TB crosses and all sprouted while in the
fridge.

Oddly enough, the lowest percentage to sprout from the first batch is
Betty Dunn X Luminosity, with only 1 of 23 apparently healthy seeds.
No idea if this means anything.

At this rate, I'm not going to have much to do during the dead of winter but
grow them on.

Was determined never to winter my own seedlings over in the house, but
potted 2 of the ones with stalks today.  Supposed to get down in the 20s
tonight.  Also potted the 2 Again And Again I got this summer to replace
what I lost this spring, as they both had stalks just coming out of the fans.

I hate winter.
