Put the granddaughter in the melon patch before going to work on the rye. Some of it was actually taller than me at 6'4". Took a bit of work but got er done. Since I got such a late start with the melons and I have a couple weeks before they HAVE to go in I'm strongly considering solarizing the patch to see if I can eliminate the weed seeds and skip a ground cover. The 197 Leonard is a no go. The 157 Bright was the first to pop. At this time it will be 157 Bright, 316 Edwards, 290 Mudd, 169 Cantrell. The 169 is 157 Bright x self and had a VERY similar shape to the 316 Edwards. I hope to make that cross. Started lopes a couple days ago with a couple no shows so far which were 46.6 Westfall, 61 Daughtridge (Thanks Harry). Popped and potted are 44 Holloway, 55 James, 8.0 Cantrell. Fingers still crossed on the other 2.
