A watched pot sometimes DOES boil.

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

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!

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...?

59 plants, awesome! And cheers! If I wasn’t so full of liquor from this chili I made for dinner I’d pop one open and have one with you.
