Drip tape and ground cover in place on the melons today. Ordering a load of sand tomorrow for covering. Tapes on 16 in centers. Not going to use drip tape on AG's. Going to go overhead primarily. Set up a second watermelon pool with a commercial mix and no extra perlite. Did go with a 4.5 ft pool about a foot deep. Planted a 207 in it. 2 others in patch to compare to. Using a moisture probe to help with watering decisions. Pulled 2 more 1060 Holubs. One was yellow and one a stripey which would have gone pumpkin. I do have one that appears to be throwing a squash. Know more in a few days.
