Well well then!! Cough cough @Cornelius_Gotchberg already ahead of you haha sweet success doing well this far

All three (3) WESconsin SMR 58 Cukes up!

Is this like Warp Speed or what...?

The Gotch

A watched pot sometimes DOES boil.

After...um...infrequent browbeating observation, one (1) Wautoma Heirloom Cuke has popped up!

The Gotch

Ok you win bragging rights haha

DISCLOSURE: I soaked the Squarsh & Cuke seeds for ~ two (2) days and the Peppers one (1) before planting.

@AKgardener no competition, just happily enjoying these way-sooner-than-expected results.

I gotta tell you's, I've never seen such lickety split sprouting like this here!

You's reckon Cuke seeds are just thinner walled & bust open more quickly...or somesuch?

Anywho, Bragging Rights are tabled for the time being, because I suspect once yours get a heapin' helpin' of that there Midnight Sun, yer gonna have some certifiable Monsters on yer hands!

Looking forward to the pics!

Haha ya all in good fun it’s nice to have good banter with everyone!! I have all my cucumber seeds picked out for the summer just waiting to start them all!! So
Far it Will socrates I really liked em last year sweet success and ones I just received today zozula!! Waiting for the squash seeds to arrive

@AKgardener "I have all my cucumber seeds picked out for the summer just waiting to start them all!!"

Them there unplanted seeds know you's gave Sweet Success a Leg Up...?

The Gotch

@Cornelius_Gotchberg nope not a word:) but there my indoor only cucumbers as a trial run to see if I can grow them inside so far 5 cucumbers on each plant very small but i have no idea what I’m doing with those since I have only been successful last year!!! But that being said I just went on a big tomato shopping spree

Checked My Pretties @06:20 a.m.; no change.

Returned @~08:40 a.m. and two (2) Butternut Squarsh had sprouted; 09:10 one (1) more Butternut AND a Black Beauty ZuKe were up-n-at-'em!

Anyone believing that's "checking" too often, would you's also believe no visits occurred between 06:20-n-08:40...?

The Gotch

I got up at 1am because I couldnt stop thinking about why the cucumbers havent grown any bigger yet.. but again what do I know haha I have not grown this variety yet..
