I like to add and till as the plant grows and leave the cover crop growing.   Tuesday, April 9 View Page Using the new tractor and tiller.

Use a cake pan and wire rack used to cook salmon. File edge, soak for 2 hours and wrap in paper towels and placed in baggies. I leave zip lock baggies partially open. I place heat mat on a wire rack so its not in direct contact with pan. Then put another rack on top of heat mat and pan on top of that rack. Wrap with heavy towel to help keep the heat in. The cake pan comes with a lid so i put my thermometer probe inside pan to get temperature.   Tuesday, April 16 View Page Towle wrapped and tucked under.   Tuesday, April 16 View Page 2365 Wolf, 3 - 2195.5 Kisamore's, 6 - 1361 Friermood's, and 6 - 1964 Friermood's all sprouted. 16 for 16. Potted 2365, all the Kisamore's, and pick the top 3 best looking roots for the 1361 and 1964 Friermood's. I kind of do this and put a number on the grow bag as I rank them. I believe Ruben mentioned this and follows this. So each will get another number as to which pop through dirt, and then another one after a few days on best looking plants. The two lowest scores of the multiples will be double planted and winner will be picked after they lay down.   Saturday, April 27 View Page 1361 Friermood in the ground.   Saturday, April 27 View Page 2195.5 Kisamore and 1964 Friermood.
