Wednesday, January 8 View Page Looking at my diary from last year, I realized I never showed the final picture of the pumpkins that were in the greenhouse. They didn’t get as big as I wanted them to due to my overwatering and plant age, but they sure came out beautiful. Here’s a photo of both pumpkins, they were crossed with each other so they should make some beautiful pumpkins plus the one being 21% heavy is kinda an added bonus. Also, I’ll leave a YouTube link below for both pumpkins from the time they were a seed to the end of season. YouTube   Monday, March 17 View Page 2025 season has begun. This 1783 New will be the only plant grown inside in the greenhouse this year and will be allotted a full 2000 ft.² indoors.   Wednesday, March 19 View Page 60 hours later…..   Sunday, March 23 View Page Kali’s 1783 New is officially in the greenhouse!   Sunday, March 23 View Page Kenzie started her 222 McMillin watermelons today.   Wednesday, March 26 View Page 72 hours later…..4/4 on watermelon germination.   Sunday, March 30 View Page Sneak peak at the 1783 New. Not much to look at yet, but should have a main vine by next week. It’s growing really well in its little mini climate inside the greenhouse. Air temperature fluctuates between 72-84F. Soil is 83F. It’s definitely growing better out there in the natural sun than it would in a pot under a grow light. Plus, I think there will be a huge benefit for the roots to not be restricted and able to run fast and free.   Tuesday, April 1 View Page 222 McMillin watermelons have been potted up 5 gallon pots.   Tuesday, April 1 View Page 4/1/25 8am 2025 season begins! 2177 Ford 2731 Stelts Both have been sanded and are soaking for 6 hours at 88 degrees in Wow 5/2. The seed starting mix has been made up and put in 1 gallons pots on the heat mat at 90 degrees. These two will be grown outside the greenhouse.   Wednesday, April 9 View Page 2177 Ford planted outside. 8 days old.   Wednesday, April 9 View Page 2731 Stelts #2 planted outside, First 2731 didn’t germinate. This one was started April 4th, so it’s 5 days old today.   Wednesday, April 16 View Page Daughter’s 1783 New outgrew the 6’ hut several days ago. Had to quickly make a 14’ long hut not even to day 30 yet! Got a really good feeling about this 1783 New seed, Chad your the man, thank you so much for these amazing seeds!!!!!   Thursday, May 1 View Page Kali’s greenhouse plant was pulled today, so she took over one of the outside plants that are about 15 days old. The first 5 side vines never grew, then past that they started to grow so she left the plant grow to 15’ long and then the main vine tip turned black and stopped growing. Sometimes you just get a plant that doesn’t grow well, We should have pulled it weeks ago. I did start 6 seeds on April 29th kinda late…. But should still be enough time to get big by October. 2- 2183 Mendi 2- 2460 Olsen 2- 1951 McMillin Fastest two plants will be given 900sqft each, other 4 plants will get the knife.   Thursday, May 1 View Page 2177 Ford doing great   Thursday, May 1 View Page 2731 Stelts it’s still early, but this plant is leaps and bounds ahead of all my others at this stage. Vines and stalks are super thick, leaves are huge and it’s 5’ long only 27 days from sanding the seed. Hopefully it continues like this!   Thursday, May 1 View Page Spent last two days making these light weight automatic opening hoop huts for the outside plants because they outgrew there 5’x5’ huts. I was really proud of them till the wind picked up…., o well they should be salvageable, I will find out in the morning. Plants took some abuse as well, but I believe they are fine.
