The final Cut – started the 1501 and the 1613 today. Filed edges of blunt 2/3 of the seed until just seeing the interior seed. I’ve had almost 100% germination doing that. Put them in a wet paper towel in a plastic lunch bag and into the incubator on a heating pad. Covered with a black plastic restaurant take-home container (seems to me, seeds expect it to be dark when they do their work - ? who knows). Keeping the 1795 and 1495 in reserve to start in 7-10 days as insurance against catastrophe due to bad judgement starting the others too early. Actually those 2 in reserve are my favorite entries and nervous about starting them so early. That greenhouse better be worth the price!
