5/23/08 - We finally hear from Eastlake, CO

Before I left work last December, I gave Paul several seeds. Unfortunately I can't remember if I gave him seeds for the pretty orange pumps (I think I did) or the palish ones I grew last summer. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Both seeds came from pumps that were over 100#.

He lives in Eastlake which is near Denver. I hadn't heard anything from him recently so I sent him a note. I found out that his wife doesn't believe in planting anything before June 1 so he was still holding onto his seeds. I told him Memorial weekend is an ok time to plant but we still have to watch out for hail.

Here's Paul's latest report....So far, 4 of the 8 seeds germinated, and it has been only a few days.....one with a shoot almost 2 inches long !
Moved them from the wet paper towel birthing area to a pot and wet them down.. they should get a lot of wamth in the back yard...
