2002 looks like it finally is going to pop. Dug around surface on 2118, 1836, and 1526. They weren't even close to popping. Dug up 1526 and pushed gently on seed. Pus came out so threw it away. 1836 was still solid. 2118 looked like a root was barely starting to form. Put 1836 and 2118 seeds into their own Ziploc bag wrapped with a damp paper towel to germinate tried and true method. Hopefully I can get them to pop this way. Heating mat is at 85 degrees.

Started 1201 pollinator and 1564 Pugh Squmpkin wrapped in damp paper towels in Ziploc bags. The 1564 was a selfed 1844 squash that didn't turn green. Plan to pollinate with 2118 if it pops. Otherwise I will start an 1807 squash if the 2118 doesn't pop.

Put soil amendments in patch today. Rain will help soak in the amendments.
