2 men enter, one man leaves. Welcome my friends to the ShazzyDome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after further thought and discussion with georgie boy, i will be starting my seeds one week from tonight on 4-20. this is 2 days later than last year. but last year was warm so the plants got out quick and i pollinated ealier than i preferred which was june 12th. the neighbor's tree leaves in pictures are about 7 days behind last years pace. march was cold and we were still using blankets to cover concrete 2 weeks ago to avoid freezing at night. therefore i feel good about kicking it back a couple days and will probably need maybe 5 more days to catch last years growth rates. i see cooler temps predicted still with the 15 day forecasts at night. this will put me about 6-19 for first attempt pollinations at 11.5'+ on mains. tranplant date will be about 8 days after starting day, so the soil will have 2 weeks to toast up and hatch those dreaded corn seed maggots too. all i have left to do is water in some biologicals when the soil temps increase. tomorrow i will run 2 space heaters to each greenhouse, put up all perimeter walking boards, and i still will deep spade again the planting spots inside the greenhouses prior to transplant. exciting time of the year for sure.
