Choosing seeds to grow: 978 Bobier 2003 (845 Bobier 00 X Sibb) 932 Bobier 2003 (723 Bobier 1999 X 845 Bobier 2000) 1074 Beauchemin 2003 (898 Knauss 2001 X 790 Daletas 2000) 1028.8 Carlson 2003 (1230 Daletas X Self) Still deciding on which Smith, Stellpflug, Hsster, Rockwell*, Troy, and others I want to grow. I have been out of it for a while so I need to read diaries for seed ideas. I will be starting seeds inside in June and plant outside in July so I have plenty of time to do seed research.

Ordering supplies for growing season. I am going to use Fish Emulsion this time. I also have found a spice that will kill bugs. I tried it out on my Squash Plants. It either kills them or deters them. Because they are gone now and I did not sqeesh them. I would have never thought of using it but I saw it used on a vegetable growing show. I have been experimenting my squash plants for what I will be doing to my Pumpkin plants. I am growing Zuccinni, Pink Banana, Yellow, and some other Heirloom varieties. I have tested different soils, different mulch, different fertilizer, ETC. I will take the best growing and use that for my pumpkin growing.
