I think the problem with the 220 & 2009 Wallace.They need a little more mositure to germinate.I carefully dug the soil down beside the seed with a pencil.I have a root on the 2009 but looks dry so I hit it with some warm(tepid)water.I set the peat pots in a bowl of water for a minute I think the peat pot is sucking up the moisture.I may use Styrofoam next year instead.Problem is you only do this once a year,So its hard to remember last years issues.I did however germinate 100% all the other seeds 1530,1478.5,1317,1067,905 Squash,under the same conditions.Go figure.18 for 18.Melons were 10 out of 12 plants made it.Weather stinks 56 for the high,calling for rain & 50s all week,Should I slow the plants down now? or speed them up?Will call the Psychic hot line to get the forecast for next week?The first full week of May.
