2023 General Growouts
January 7, 2023: Seeds sown (I sowed 75 seeds in 3 separate petri dishes / paper towels (25 seeds per dish).)
January 10, 2023: Seeds germinated (About 25% sprouted so far. I took 50 of the seeds out and sowed them into a little bed of potting soil spaced about an inch apart. The other 25 seeds will remain in petri dish for complete germination test.)
January 13, 2023: Miscellaneous Event (Ended up seeing 84% germination from these seeds.)
January 14, 2023: Plant emerged (4 days after sowing the already sprouted seeds, one seedling emerged. I guess the rest will be coming along soon. Temps are around 75 degrees.)
February 25, 2023: Potted up (Potted 54 of them up into 4" pots. Most of them are 8 inches tall and have flower buds already.)
March 28, 2023: Transplanted (Transplanted about a dozen of these out into a raised bed in the backyard. Not yet sure what I'll do with the other 40 plants I have.)
April 12, 2023: Transplanted (Installed the rest of these into the farm in Sunset behind the Opalka plants.)

January 29, 2023: Seeds germinated (Couple seedlings emerged today.)
February 25, 2023: Potted up (Potted them up into 4" pots. I waited too long, these are sickly looking. They wanted a bigger pot LONG ago and I procrastinated. This plant is very fast growing and should be potted up on a quick schedule. I expect they'll explode with growth in their new 4" pots and will want something even bigger in a week or two.)
