Well, the first three seeds have sprouted. Already it is clear that even at the cotyledon stage, some are stronger than others. The three Smith 332's are going great. I will put in the two strongest and put the third on a friends farm to let it fend for itself - Murphy may have a hand in this. My partch has been turned over for the last time and some Sulphate of Potash added for good flower and fruit set. The weather has turned dog and Hughie has been sending it down all weekend. especially this arbo.(Translated to English, this means that the weather has returned to witer conditions with temperatures barely in double figures (celcius), it has also been raining a lot, especially this afternoon). Australians need no translation as they are almost single handedly responsible for this garish coloquelism. Hi Tony - why do Australians have XXXX on their beer cans?? Because they can't spell BEER !! (That's for the Sheep joke). The second set of seeds is in the airing cupboard as the cool condition meant thae slowing down of growth in cool, damp seed mix. I expect to plant out in 10 - 14 days. Cheers Pumpkins of New Zealand Have a 'Parky' day!
