Lost my 259 Kent melon. Got in a hurry Friday night to do some thing with my plants that would need attention while I was away at Mom's. My melon was the most delicate with a fairly long stem, I should have repotted and hoped for the best, but I put it out in the not quite ready patch. It looked fine last night, then I gave it a drink, maybe a big drink! It was wasted when I got home from work. I'll start a 213 Kent, and back it up with a239 Zuerner. I put the afore mentioned pumpkin seeds to soak, when I got home this evening (4:30), in rain barrell water with hydrogen peroxide solution and Rootone rooting hormone with fungicide. Soil is Jiffy soiless sterile starting mix with humus, blood meal and pumkin pro mycros. Pre mixed and moistened in 5 inch peat pots ( moistened also). Seeds will go in as soon as I get off here and call it a night!
