I decided to start a few more plants, I have been growing Ag's competitively since 2007 and every year I have had a Bosworth seed in my patch. I planned to this year as well, so I needed to take another shot at getting a Bosworth seed to germinate.
Luckily I had some 1144 Bosworth seeds.
Here is what I planted yesterday.
1144 Bosworth '10
1436 Wolf '11
1193 Snyder '10
I also started some more melons and some 'Shintosa Camelforce' seeds to see if I can get a grafted melon plant. After losing my melon patch to weeds last year I plan on using black landscape fabric this year to help control the weeds. Unlike pumpkins, melons will not shade out the weeds that germinate under the canopy. I hope this will save my back a little effort, as lifting and hoeing under melon vines can be quite a job.
We could really use some rain here as we are bone dry at the moment. In Connecticut, we get about 4" of rain a month for every month of the year. I can't even remember the last time we had a measurable amount. March? February?
