Seed starting Update: 1207 Young looks like a no go. Started a 904 Stelts this morning. Brian has 4 nice 1170 Vincent-McGill plants started. All are doing very well. We may be going with one of these. The 1370 Rose has not emerged feom the planing mix. I little digging proves the seed is rooted.
Other seedlings are doing well. Will need to be transplanted to gallon pots in a couple days.
Started Long Gourds tonight. 3 x 119 Vincent 08 (123 UOM), 3 x 125 Urena (moma of the 119), and 3 x 118.5 Eaton 06, mother of the new CDN record 124 Eaton 08. The plan will be to use the 118 as the pollinator for the other two.
Although it has been wet, the patch is drying out again. I borrowed a chisel plow from my brother in law. I plan to deep chisel the patch, then cultivate and rototill to get down deeper than in the past. We should have the soil test back in the next day or two. I hope to have all tillage, amendments added, heating cables in and hoop houses erected before it rains again.
