Finally got a break in my RA - so guess it's better late than never on getting the patch planted..
Yep, did it all in one day! Redisced it heavily to get all the winter wheat killed off and turned under, did add some 10-10-10 since this is a fairly new patch... And spent hours getting the irrigation system set up. (plenty of soakers from the larger area I used to use! So this patch will be heavily soaked!)... And finally, planted the nine varieties..
yes, only nine! So everything is a 'peck' variety, since I want to make sure to have the best chance of good, viable 'kin seeds for next season..
Planted several Chioggia X 300 pecks - both female GP/GS cross and female Chioggia cross. It shall be interesting to see if the 'unregulated growth gene' is indeed carried in the Chloroplasts of the maternal plant..
The 300 peck 'orange' (female) X blue hubbard - is also included.
Some of the Jarradale crosses are included.
Of course the 300 Peck X 970 Seals is in there as well..
I'm just listing these by memory. Today, I'll go out and create my schematic from the ID stakes. Just got too tired to do it yesterday..
