2nd piece was easier. So I think I did the impossible, and got this method to work. It really went well. Better than the gallon pots I've used in the past.
I surrounded the tray with the compost so the roots can continue to spread laterally which is what I want this time of year.
I put blood meal and rock phosphorous under the plant and gave it a little "beehive tea." I'm very curious to see if this setup results in a good plant.
BTW the best plant in these pictures is the 1133 Yohe squashkin, but there is also a 1643 Kisamore and a couple of my 541's. These would all be fun to grow, but it will slowly get thinned to a one-plant PB attempt, the other plants might get used for tissue tests and/or as pollen.
A big problem with an ultra early start is there wont be a lot of males around.
I have a pot of my 424's for my 150 sq ft entry, but after that no backup plants, so I guess I need to start even more seeds.
