The soil is warming in the germination chamber. The seeds are under the paper towel soaked in a mild H202 solution. The seeds will be ready at the same time the soil is warm.
I did not deep freeze this soil, so this pot is going to test the soil exactly as it is in the patch right now, bugs included. In order to do a pre-planting tissue test, the test plant must be started about 6 weeks ahead of the planting date. Then the test plant will be large enough to send in for the tissue test.
If by some miracle plant looks perfectly healthy after 6 weeks I wont bother with the tissue test. Dont try to fix what ain't broke, I say. But since my soil probably is broken... I should do both a soil and a tissue test pre-season?
So I will go collect a soil sample from the that same hole and then I will be armed with some real info prior to the start of my "Plan B..."
