I just checked my 2007 diary and I am at least 1 week behind last year which is good. The weather in eastern PA has been really cold and wet lately. Left to right are the 772 Poirier, 603.5 Muller, 670 Daigle, and 434 Gerhardt. The 772 cots look really crappy and it has yet to begin its first true leaf. The 840 Hester and then unfortunately the 869.5 Calai failed to germinate. I have resolved to only planting 5 instead of 6 plants, with the additional space allocated to my growing obsession with habanara pepper varieties. I have maybe 10 habanara types which I will likely outline in another diary post sometime. I am also toying with starting a giant watermelon. I don't know if its too late for that or not. I will probably plant the pumpkins next weekend, after it warms up a bit. Right now the plants go out in the sun during the day, and come in at night. I guess I'll start another round of backups too- probably unproven seeds.
