52 degrees this mornin and the 1306 is gonna take a little longer to open up, so i figured i would blab a little while waiting. i know i am good at yacking, just ask all my idiot friends who say, "won't you ever shut up?" or "damn you love to hear yourself talk". all true. you should be at our house on a holiday. we are all loud and yack constantly, except my dad who just shakes his head in silence, and endures the bombastic barrage of nothingness. he must be a saint. anywho, i took off the shade chairs over my little ones at 4 pm and let them get some sun to warm them up a bit prior to going into the evening and i will leave them off until they warm back up this afternoon about 11 am. the small 5 to 7 day old sets were not blanketed last night cuz they do not have enough mass to retain heat. but the 1446 was coverer at 7 pm with a fleece lined jacket snuggly wrapped around it to retain as much heat as possible after i let it warm in the sun for 3 hours in the not-so-direct- sunlight. wish i thought of it the 2 days before, but hopefully i will re-read my diary in the future and do this again early on day 8 plus small pumpkins when it is chilly. the 1306 will be pollinated this morning with the 6 bagged males from the 1446. gonna let them warm up a bit and pollinate about 7:30 am. gonna give the plants my soil drench cocktail of molasses, neptunes seaweed and fish, and symbex after pollination. then i will add more misting points to my system with the plants growing beyond the range of the last set points. will do this until the patch is full to have a complete coverage when the hot temps arrive again. weirdest thing is i get my most burnt leaves on small developing leaves on these windless low humidity 75-80 degree days in brilliant sunlight. and the ones affected the most are near the fences or the driveway from reflected or absorbed heat. done yacking, and will go cocktail drench while waiting to pollinate.
