Jacob and I have settled on our seed lineup for the year.
547 McWilliams 08
689 McWilliams 06
841 McWilliams 08
1004 Mohr 08
756 Privitera 08
910 Young 07
665 Lovelace 08
350 Grande 07 squash.
Backups are 1275.5 Carlson-Petersen 06 and 336 Grande 07 green squash. If we have germination failures we have plenty more good seeds to use. We know that some of the seeds are from pumpkins that didn't get too big, but the good genetics are there. They just didn't make the size for various reasons: herbicide drift, groundhogs, frost, hail, etc. We have confidence that they will do well for us.
We will grow an assortment of Attaway, Lovelace and Timm long gourds, and Bhaskaran and Schnicker watermelons.
Forecast is for a week of highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. Hopefully it will warm up after that, so the seeds will hit the pots very soon.
