This is the geranium patch. As good as the melon plants look the kin plants are struggling. Being a tightwad doesn't always pay off. Used a "cheaper" potting mix that was suppose to be the same as Pro mix to start my giants and I got what I paid for. Made some mistakes not fertilizing early then overcorrected and shazam I've got geraniums. The 38 survivors are trying to rebound. Most are F2 squash crosses and the patch will be whittled down to 8 if that many survive. Starting some late seed to be grown in a commercial setup all on a single dripline with the intentions of selfing all plants and keeping the best of each sib group. Plant size will be limited to 300 square ft. I'm looking first for dark and heavy to chart but that could be trumped purely by size if a special one shows up.
