If it's on this list it got planted today. 1175* Holub, 2 of 89* Shymanski, 1770.5 Lieber, 1734.5 Stiel, 1221.5 Robinson, 1531.6 Haist, 2 of 282 Scherber and 2 of 806 Shymanski. One of the 806's is planted on the edge of the patch opposite its sib so it can be a replacement or a bait plant. I'll do the same with several of my own tomorrow. For the time being I need more water to warm prior to transplanting. I hope to keep records of which plants I actually see squash bugs on and how many. This may help me when choosing a plant to cull. So far no sign of them. Made the same comment last year and saw them within a week. Planted commercial lopes and specialty melons today. Experimenting with several new varieties. We'll do taste tests and let the customers decide what I need to grow assuming there are no production issues. Speaking of lopes, it's about time to start those. Look out Jake and the rest of you lope heads.----Hmmm----Wonder if thy would grow hydroponically?
