Bill,

 

I have two plants from P & P that I am very happy with.  I started them on May 1st.  My "One Ton Cross" (1061x1006) now has several leaves on it. The biggest is the second leaf, measuring about 11 inches.  I call this plant  "The Vermonster".  I have great expectations for it. (he-he-he)  I also have a generic 800lb+ plant growing, but it was not quite as quick to germinate and I have not babied it as much as the Vermonster.  TheVermonster had a 1/8" to 1/4" root coming out of it less than 24 hours after I started it, including soaking time.  I sanded, then soaked my seeds for two hours, then put them in an 88 deg. drawer wrapped in damp paper towels inside zip-loc bags.

 

This week has been cool here too. It has been rainy with temps in the 60's. The Vermonster is in a cold frame though, and is still showing growth every day.

 

Good luck on growing the second largest,
