Well, today was a pretty sad day...another death. Pc1, freshly planted, was promptly dug up and snacked on by a local critter. Not sure exactly what it was, but there were no tracks, no trail, or anything of the sort which leads me to believe it was something small. Whatever it was dug out my entire hole, didn't just eat the seedling but dug it completely out. So anywho I learned valuable lesson #1. When transplanting a seedling outdoors it's IMPERATIVE to set up a defense system at, ...
Been a busy day today. Both at my real job and in the humidity tray. Good news and bad, so first the bad... #4, for whatever reason, decided to pass on. She popped up, hung around for a few days, and not once did she open her leaves. She fell over. I tried to support her with a clump of soil, but she withered away sometime while I was at work today. She will be missed Now the good news! Everything besides #4's death has been right on schedule. There's ...
Well, day 13 is about at its end. Checked on the nursery a few minutes ago and counted 10 sprouts all together, with another 2 bulging.

Keeping a close eye on my plastic cups, which I'll now call pc1 and pc2, and #3 for any signs of harm due to the LST. So far so great they're responding wonderfully and pc2 is actually breaking up the soil I covered her up with. Based on that I resorted to propping a galvanized nail on them to weigh them down. This way I can easily remove them if need be but so far so good. Pc2 is now, barely 5 hours later, bending around the nail. Pc1 and #3 seem to be responding in a similar fashion albeit ...
I woke up this morning to a couple of things. First thing I checked my shotglass to see if any seeds happened to germ. One did. The rest didn't look so good so I potted the one that looked good and tossed the rest. No matter I have another batch started, approx 15 hearty looking seeds, so hopefully within the next couple of days I'll pot some more. Checked in on the humidity tray and found my 2 plastic cups and one of my other seedlings stretching for light, so I'm beginning ...
