RJGLEW - Any update?

I started the Tokita Varieties to bring to Tennessee for my month away from the Florida sun, heat and humidity.

Excellent fast germination (2-3 days) even SunGrape that came via UK, Czech Republic, Canada and finally me in Florida. Could these seeds have traveled further?

Also fast germination from Golden Cherry which was questionable and the ones from Seeds n Such.

The only one that failed to germinate was TomatoBerry so I bought new seeds from Johnny's and germinated in 2 days. The original seeds were older and not from any of the vendor's mentioned.

The ones from Osborne, I expected fast germination and got it.

I'm bringing 2 empty Earthboxes with me so if these plants get large, will lie them down for the trip back.

For mix, I'm bringing a small amount of ProMix and then the compressed Wonder Soil. I'm thinking I can expand it in the EarthBox once I get there.

BTW - I picked my last SunChocola's (grown in EB) back in late July and put them in the Fridge; they stayed good and even today still have a few left.
