Here's a pictorial update on the seeds I started in the IHORTs on April 6th:

#1 & #2 These okra seeds were soaked for 4 days? in H2O2, and had root nubs waaaaaay long (couldn't get to them soon enough)

So, I remembered some extra IHORT plugs and drilled the hole down further with a chopstick, and planted the sprouted okra seeds. Was careful to not damage the root nub when I pushed em down into the plug.

Evidently, it worked!

Pic #3 is at 11 days from the H2O2 soak. They are looking really good, and will start making patio field trips pretty soon! No real hurry, cuz we're gonna have Texas HEAT for the next 6 months!!!
