I'm posting this so I don't forget some of the details as the months go on. I welcome posts in my GJ because I want to try to avoid failure w/ these plants!

Got a whole bunch of seeds from a tasty bag - almost 100% germination. The only fatalities I had were if I knocked off baby leaves (1) and when one plant got all tangled in it's seed casing and shriveled up dead before I could help it.

Got about 11 plants that are in various stages at this point. I got an Earthbox w/ the intention of using it for tomatos but thought that given our high heat here, a pot w/ constant water (without investing in hydro) might be cool for my babies. I picked out 4 to put in there (the Earthbox instructions said 4 plants would be the "right" number for semi large veggies, so I went w/ that). The rest are going in or have gone into pots.

These were sprouted around 3/17 - 3/22


One of them was pretty deformed.


Here it is next to it's sister (hopefully they are both girls!).


About 4 days ago (so Monday), I started to see telltale signs on the most mature one...but still not sure if it's a female.


As I said, they are all in a greenhouse, so I'm dependant on the sun's natural hours. I'd have to bring them in and create a grow closet to have more light control. I do have other plants in the greenhouse too - veggies and fruit.

Here's a funny little freak plant I have - this photo is from the beginning of this week.


But the little freak seems to be doing well - I'm just gonna keep growing it! This is a photo from moments ago:
