First casualties of the season succumb to high winds during a wicked thunderstorm. Lost two 1873 Steil (main and backup) and one 1478 Holub F1 (backup) plants. All early fair plants sustained damage. I will replace the 1873 with something from the main patch lineup. The 282 is very slow to get going. I will put it in the early patch but it won't be early. Only got 1 of them to pop this year. I've increased the size of my main patch but reduced the number of plants. I plan to mow between plants this year and there should be plenty of room to walk around perimeter. I'm behind most it seems in getting my main seeds started but I figure I haven't been able to get one to a later weigh-off in years. Got a huge surprise 3 days ago. A bumper crop of cucumber beetles started showing up. Way earlier than most years.
