This is the new addition to the yard. It took priority over all things pumpkin related so far this spring, but with the weather finally permitting it got built this weekend. So far this last week I have tilled the patch, added 160 pounds of gypsum and 3 pounds of epsom salt, and I've built the structures for the cold frames. This evening the plastic will go up on those cold frames, and tomorrow I'll set up the heaters, thermostats,and the wireless weather station (all new purchases in the last year). A little change in plans since February, no watermelon or veggies ths year, and each pumpkin plant will get a 20x20 area. The following seeds were started last night by filing, soaking, and placing in damp paper towels in ziploc bags. They were then put on top of the hot water heater in the mechanical room which stays at a relatively consistent 85 degrees.
670 Daigle
671 Dill (757 Companion x 1016 Daletas)
1180 Daletas
839 Reid (1139 Sherwood x 998 Pukos)
800* Neily (836* Neily x 848 Mackenzie)
990* Hebb (616 Corkum x 780 Eaton)
If anything doesn't germinate I'll dig into the back-ups, and in a few days I'll start a couple of my own 674 from 05 to keep in the pot for a couple weeks in case of any problems that require new plants.
