Started about 30 seeds today from this pumpkin, 1051.5 Cantrell, to use as trap plants around the fair patch. Hope this is enough to stop most of the squash bugs when they come out. I noticed last year that nearly all the plants that had YVD were on the outer edges of the patch. The plan is to grow them in circular fashion like they're chasing each other in hopes the bugs will land there first. Got a tentative plan pulled together for the melons. I'm going to start 4 plants soon with the plan of moving them to their permanent spot in about a month. Going with 165 Cantrell(B) 10, 207 Cantrell 11, 199 Cantrell 12, 188 Cantrell 13. I don't want to chance some of the "harder to replace" seeds on this unproven method. I'll try to do updates frequently on this experiment.
