What you plan to grow and what actually makes it into the ground and survives are two different things.

We have had the coldest spring since 1964 and more than enough rain lately.

PUMPKIN: 1694 Meier - growing as planned and doing well
SQUASH: Went with 1088 Horde instead of 626 Horde*
FIELD PUMPKIN: 134 Wursten didn't germinate, so am going with 85 Eaton and 94 Lyons this year
MARROW: Of the last three WR 206.5 seeds I had, only one germinated. Started 114 Baggs, 70.5 Wursten and 73.6 Wursten and will plant out best of bunch and use the others as back-ups
HEAVY CUCUMBER: 2 of 3 drowned - still got 1x Thomas going
LONG CUCUMBER: 3 going as planned (Thomas & Wursten)
BEETROOT: got several going as planned
CARROT: about half died of frost
PARSNIP: seed seller took my money twice but never sent the seeds, so no parsnips this year
LONG GOURD: got 2x 122 Wursten plants going as planned
TOMATO: got 5 or 6 going as planned
SWEDE: got 2 going to fill up empty spaces
RADISH: still to be sown

Other than that I have some giant stuff going just for the seeds.
