Ok, I am seeing if I can reply to this. Won't let me reply to anything else... I keep getting a message that they need my e-mail address.

Sinking.....

I had a very rough weekend and was late getting this set up. As of last night (day 1) the two batches of seed smelled like wet corn with maybe a hint of fermentation. The 2014 grown batch should be almost completely viable, but I wanted it for a comparison/baseline. Is there a corn forum I can post this test in? I can't seem to find one. :)

Donna, we do get lots of rain at the moment (which is good) and we had sun during the winter here in the north of Germany but no snow. It was rather a very long fall than a winter... This is very good news you're telling about Mystica and a nice cross you choose! I have buds on both and maybe I'll try the same cross :-)) Fred, two years ago we all got #1807 and/or #1810 instead of the #1820 we ordered. They are both dark purple with white stripes and there was a discussion about the difference in the big Sonatini thread:https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/4498261/sonatinis-2017#n=263. #1820 has small dots. Mine is about to open, I'll post a picture of it soon. I don't know when #1875 was offered but I would have ordered it :-))) Anja
