Early Start To The 2020 Growing Season
This past winter has been certainly on the warmer side of average. So, the plan is to take advantage of these mild conditions and start the reconstruction of the indoor high tunnel/greenhouse structure early. The ground is still frozen in places, but the hoop anchors were able to be put into place and now it is time to assemble the hoop structure.
The plan this year is to do a staggered start to try and have the pumpkin plants take advantage of the longest 50 to 100 days of sunlight during the year. Early on when the plant is small it is easy to add supplemental lighting, so the early start date plant will have an additional 600watt grow light to help extend the day (light) duration during what would naturally be short days.
Start dates are planned to be as follows…
Indoor Plant: Seed Starting Date: March 11th, 2020
Outdoor Plant: Seed Starting Date: April 11th, 2020
