Nearly time to start. Soil sample sent off and got to plow the early patch yesterday just in time for todays rain. Rye and clover was in great shape, just above ankles. Hopefully some of these will still be alive for three of the August weigh-offs. A last minute adjustment was made to this years early line-up with the addition of the 1530 Gehweiler. I think this seed came in the Southern Grower seed packet. Same cross as the 1442.5 Matessa, should be interesting if all goes well. I want to thank Pete & Cindy Glazier and John Matessa for their seeds and everyone involved in getting me the Gehweiler seed. Decided to throw a squash into the mix. This is the first of my crosses that I won't have to plant more than one of to get a greenie. No plans at this time for planting watermelons this year. This could change but I doubt it. I do plan on putting in a couple of lope and tomato plants and maybe a sunflower or two. The farm is in full swing with pruning, plowing and spraying. Also plans are in place to expand the American Chestnut project.
