And I am pleased with most of my numbers... Normal procedure for me is to plant 3 pellets with 2 to 3 seeds per pellet. Move the seedlings to a cup soon after they show signs of growing a real leaf...
This year I am not sure what I was thinking but Big Hill was planted in 6 pellets as was Micro Tom Gold.... and then there was Lucinda OMG I don't know what I was thinking but I planted 12 pellets with the seeds for this variety and have ended up with a large number of these to hand out... Lucky me these may go as a novelty as they are carrot leafed and very distinctive. Also very distinctive is the bright green of the Cherokee Tiger Black. This one also was planted in 6 pellets and I ended up with 9 plants.
Sadly there were a few failures... Melon Ball only gave me one seedling out of the 6 seeds planted. Large Barred Boar has not come up at all but I will give it a bit more time... and some varieties I really wanted to plant got misplaced and started very late
