Spanish Chestnut Nov 23 11 am

Spanish Chestnuts I & II; one fixed 11.35 am Nov 19 one Nov 22 12 noon — both fairly vertical now now Sliced with razor— dip in H2O seeds dry

Nov 24 — no bending visible

Nov 25 11 50 am

one bent slightly towards cut at tip, the other— bent to side marked as cut but on which I can see no cut— Nov 28, I can cut mark & the root is bent slightly away from the cut side.

Spanish-Chesnuts I think go for nothing— They always grow so badly
