Earl's Faux voo doo
Further proof that Earl's Faux is a alchemic creation of it's namesake...I wasn't having any luck germinating these guys..Gottem' right from the master himself so I tried again...nothing...My stationary tub in the basement beside my seed starting area needed some work by the local plummer..He put in some new pipe and of course the pvc cement was stinking up the house. So I decided to open the basement windows. As a counter to the cold I decided to crank up the heating mat under the plants...and....voila..here comes the Faux..must be some secret Georgia swamp variety from the master's lab..just needs extreme heat and humidity to get going :

Ray--you may have hit upon one of Earl's " secret methods ". As you know, the O'l Boy can be a bit cunning at times.
But, he doesn't have to patent his seeds and avoids all of the infringemen litigation. Dave |

Interesting,
I had no problems with my Faux seeds..... However, I know Craig had some germination issues with his too.... Maybe you've just gotta be the "right" political persuasion... Lee |

Sorry, Lee. I can debunk that particular notion!
Faux germination has not been a problem for this one...although I still have problems with a certain shrub beside the south lawn.... :wink: |
