well, a little later than I expected but well within the range Peakseeds advertises, and still in a timely manner, my beans have arrived! 11 nice dark brown ones in a good stealthy & protective package - about 2.5 weeks from when I sent out for them (paid via enclosed cash through lettermail).

Currently germinating 4 (2 soaking for about 8 hours then going straight into dirt, 2 between moist paper towels on back of my warm monitor, and all 4 to stay indoors until they get some healthy roots) and not sure weather or not I should do a grow journal as I won't be taking pics (at least not in the beginning) since I've got no digital camera and don't want to risk them getting discovered while film gets developed. Would there be much point to a journal w/out pics? I know it would be harder for people to get a good idea of how the plants are doing or of what I could be doing right/wrong if it's all based on a text description alone... what you guys think?
