The 2230 Wallace, 1733 Kline and 1683 Warner have all germinated. I have a 2nd and 3rd Warner as backups.
The 2230 patch is ready. It is a new patch with a new polytunnel with roll-up sides. The tunnel is too small but the plant can eventually grow on outside. I added old cow manure, compost, lime, boron, kali, humic acid and basalt.
The 1683 will go in the old and much larger polytunnel which I fitted with two large windows for ventilation this winter. Added compost, boron, kali, humic acid and basalt.
The plants have received Rhizotonic, mycorrhizae and amino acid.
The tall corn is about a foot tall. The heavy carrots are in the garden and are about a foot long.
Today I helped 6 biology students from the University of Utrecht sow giant corn, tomatoes, kohlrabi and carrot seeds. I also gave the head gardener at the Botanical Gardens in Utrecht a few 1549 Kline 15 (1870 x 2009) seeds which he is going to plant this afternoon. He hopes to grow one or both in one of the many large polytunnels at the Gardens. They will also be hosting our weigh-off on September 24.
