Changed the cabbage project. They started growing way too fast for a 5 gallon bucket. These tubs had a protein supplement in them for cattle. 20 inches inside diameter. I drilled a hole in the side just above the bottom for drainage. Filled with potting mix and transplanted. Suppose to be in the mid to low 20's and the boss said I can bring them in the house for a couple nights. Prep done on the fair patch and it rained last night. Going to dig out some old plastic from a neighbors greenhouse and solarize the patch as best I can before planting time. Strongly considering planting through the plastic and leaving it in place to kill as many weeds as possible. Plans are to grow a couple tomatoes and maybe do an experiment to see if lobe numbers and female size at bloom have any effect on final watermelon size. I'll gladly listen to any suggestions on how to set this up if anyone wants to share ideas. No competition melons planned. Main patch AG line-up decided. Cut way back this year. Only 8 plants. Mostly F2 squash crosses like the 615.
