Newbie (both blogging and "power" gardening)

Okay, I am admittedly a bit of an amateur, but can never miss an opportunity to beat Fred in something. Here were my little guys at 2 weeks then again at 4 weeks after first up-pot. Note the lesser known secret techniques of the garage trouble-light lighting system and red-solo-cup planters. Those two are freebies, you'll have to pay for any more secrets. I was told to expect about 50% germination rate with these but got 10 of 14 so claiming that as victory #1. I did have a hiccup while on vacation when the dog/plant caretaker took much better care of the dogs than the plants. But never fear, I will revive them and one of these little beauties just might produce a contender!

  1. 10/14 is good. What variety are these, and where did you get your seeds?
