Today I started the first couple of seeds. This year, my squash line-up will include seeds from 2021-2025, and I want to include one of those classic seeds before they get toooo ooold (...starting all four seeds, hoping for two seedlings...a favorite plant and back-up). Initially, I thought I would start the entire line-up on the same day (and I'm aware that I need to try to be patient with the old seeds for some additional days). However, today I decided to soak the old ones two days prior to starting the rest of the line-up. Reason: I guess, they will need at least 2 (maybe 3) days longer to sprout (if they do sprout at all, if they do it in such a well-behaved way that they can produce a strong seedling that I finally want to transplant into the patch). So, I hope that the entire line-up (we will see if it will eventually include one of today's first starters) will start as a seedling within a narrow time frame of about two days maybe, and then I can monitor their development as a seedling during their first days (prior to hitting patch soil) in direct comprison. Let's see how it works out...
