Germination Results
Well I should say Braking Ground results since germination can occur up to
several days before the plant breaks ground.
All were planted the <A HREF="http://www.greenholloworchard.com/custom3.html";>Direct Start Method</A> on April 18th, this year germination
was slower, (except for Greer 1172), but a higher percentage of success than
last year.
