I received my beans for the up and coming competition this morning . They have arrived in plenty of time to get them establish and ready for their final place of residence .

Oh I do hope they have a nice house warming party 😁

I brought an 8watt propagator which is keeping them warm , whilst they are in incubation.

No change in their state of mind at the moment , they need a bit more time before they come out if their shell's

Okay . The girls have had a couple of days to settle in. Proudly and assertively they stand above the soil . They are in 5.5" pots I believe that's what I measured them at .

I'm still waiting on the others to poke themselves out from under the covers per-say .

Here are some pics of the four that are up . Plus a little bit more going on in the background.

They are utilising the tent at night time in a week or so the green house will be their daytime residence until, their final destination... Some where ???

I had a little gentle poke around , all 5 beans have popped 👌
Well . It looked like all 5 ... It was just the 4 tho .

These are the 4 that made it ... I believe it is 2 of each .

The one in the terracotta style pot is the unfortunate one not to make it . I believe that was one of the super#61. In this pic there was also 2 old stock from previous run... Also un popped .

The 4 girls that have managed the see the light, are now in the greenhouse hardening up .
Pics to follow .

I spent a couple of hours putting an electric supply for heating and propagation . They had their first night out , last night.

After realising that the green house is not quite warm enough yet , or more so it is still a little nippy outside . I brought the girlies in and sat them on a window sill . They are happy about this decision . Plus they are getting light practically all day .

A few weeks time they should be tall enough and strong enough , also the weather should be picking up .
I'm going to miss having them at home ... I will visit them , so they shouldn't worry about it too much.

So just before I pop into the greenhouse and see how the girls are doing. I thought I would post the last lot of pics as I have not deleted them . I shall assume they have not been posted.

There may be some duplicates
