Champion0607 off to a strong start!

Tonight the Wilsons set up the germination box and planted 4 purchased seeds and 10 or so seeds from Wilson 07 293lb. Since the Wilson 07 293 seeds were not very well cared for, and had a little exterior mold, we're not expecting much from those. But the new Wilson line of 500lb+ seeds will be available in November 08.

Here's a picture of the "pot tags" we created so we don't forget which pot contains which pumpkin.

Here's a shot of the interior of the "germination box". A total of 8 pots. Depending on germination success, I could have a few choice plants for the highest bidder...

Here's a shot of the germination box with the exterior lights used for heat. We don't have a thermometer, so I've got to pick one up tomorrow. Don't want those babies to get too hot or too cold.

Let the games begin!

The 2008 pumpkin growing contest has officially begun! Wayne was the first to plant over the last weekend. This year we've all purchased different seeds for ourselves. Let the race begin!
