   While looking through the storage buckets for some tape, I came across the bag of Cannabis seeds my neighbor gave me, and it reminded me that in just a few months I'll be LARPing Johnny Appleseed (but with Cannabis) throughout the vineyards. (Cannabis and Grapes have very similar requirements.)

   😜 This will not be a serious cropping attempt. My hope is that a few survive, and start the next cycle, and hopefully "wild weed" will become a thing in the Rhineland.

     Taproots are starting to poke out the bottom, and 2nd set of leaves starting.

     There is rain predicted this afternoon, I'll go set these later this morning.

     It's supposed to freeze over the weekend. Oh well.

     😜 I am not doing anything illegal, AFAIK.

     5 of 6 are up. The 6th has a hump of loose peat, I suspect the sprout is right underneath. It'll probably pop up overnight.

     The current plan is still to wait until 2nd set of leaves start to emerge before transplant.

     If ya want pics, say so. *shrugs* It's just sprouts in peat pots under a rinkydink gro-light supported by cat food boxes.

     I set them under a small LED gro-light, which I neglected to do earlier.

     3 are up, and I can see the stem coming out in 2 more.

     The 4 peat pots in front are apple seeds. We have a big ol' pot that would support a tree or two. I intend to "bonsai"/torture one or two tree-lets into interesting shapes.

     I'm also changing the thread privacy level to unlisted, so casual users and timelines don't get weed growing thrown in their faces.

     First sprouts! Now I know these take ~4 days to germinate.

     I'll set 'em out when the 2nd set of leaves emerge, which should be in the coming week.

     Nothing has sprouted yet (duh!), and I watered.

     In the meantime, ive decided here (around the base of these trees) would be a good spot for a trial. Easy to see from the benches.

     I know they won't last long. It's a timetable measurement thing, not actual LARP. When I start transplanting en masse, they'll be much more secluded.

     I may as well get this party started!

     It's early, and I expect these will expire of exposure soon after transplant. It's more for getting a feel for the time scale involved when I start production lining it.

     I don't know the genetics, subspecies, etc. #BirdSeedWeed?

     I have some spots in mind for transplant if/when. They have to be relatively easy for me to clomp to. 😜 I can't very well plant 'em in between the vinerows.
