Time to start more seeds. The 1047 that I started for the early plant is doing OK, but the 1200 Engel is not. Cots came out great but next 2 leaves are tiny and fizzling out. But I have more 1200 seeds so more will get started. For big but not necessarily pretty pumpkins, we will have 2 plants. I will be starting a 2091 Midthun (1781 Zywiec X self) 1239 Benson/Witter (2145 McMullen x self) 1587.5 Caspers (2145 x 2624.6 Willemijns) and 1442.5 Caspers (2363 x 1587.5) We will see which ones are the keepers later. Also will be starting long gourd seeds, when I decide which ones to plant. And 265 Engel and 279 English bushel gourds. Weather is looking up, with most of the next week forecast for the 60's. The hoop houses need continual attention with all the wind we have been getting.
