Plant updates.
1177 Haist - Sons squash, best of the bunch. Should be vining in a week or so if the weather cooperates like it looks like it will be doing.
1325 Starr - Done. Wind damage last week too much to overcome.
919 Rockwell - Also damaged by the wind last year, this plant looks like it has survived and continues to grow well. I have started 2 new seeds inside just in case something happens to this plant or the ones in the next cloche.
1207 Young - This one continues to try and grow right, but it is not the prettiest or most typical plant. I think this may be a double vine and has a split in the stem from ground to cots.
579 Rockwell - Double planted in with the 1207 Young, it is a nice backup, but as I stated with the 919/1325 cloche, I have started 2 more seeds tonite to give me a late backup "just in case".
2 new seeds started are the 1354 Checkon and the 977 Wallace. The 1354 I have grown in the past and the 977 is a nice reverse cross of last years 1502 I grew and got 919 pounder. Both seeds will see soil by the end of May and with warm weather they should catch up if need be.
I wanted to do this because I was reading that Ned fella was starting seeds late and I want to grow up to be just like him. On a serious note, I wish Ned the best and hope those friggin maggots eradicated from his patch. Kevin Brown had this problem a few years ago and it is a terrible thing.
