Sowed seeds thursday night. I am going with 4 later plants, 1 has been in the ground now 3 weeks for a early August weighoff.
Seeds that were started are.
2- 282 Dawson
2- 251 Dawson
2- 102 Dawson
2- 255 Mitchell
2- 274 Kent
2- 228 Knight
Now with only 4 spots open, only the strongest will see dirt.
So what is everybody else planting? And what do you think will be the HOT seed this year?

Waiting to see if the 260 Clementz breaks ground, if not tomorrow, will start another.
Probably start a couple more end of next week for just in case, I've got plenty of room, don't have time for too many over 8.

Ice Man, I went with a modified way of the way you do seeds this year. Put in soil point down to where I could just see top of seed. This made it very easy to see early on o. Anything was going on with the seeds, when they started moving.

I am growing three 171 Masterson, two 179 Masterson and one 285 Edwards. It worked out this way because I first sent Nathan seeds that I thought were good that I had a lot of. These were the first grafted and so they were the largest nicest plants and so these were the ones I decided to go with. I later sent Nathan my best seeds and he did grafts from the ones that germinated. I made the decision to pull one of my big plants to make room for one of the big name plants Nathan produced for me. So I pulled one of the 179's and replaced it with my 285 Edwards. It came from seed Chris Kent provided me with last year. I also have a 178.5 Mudd, a 35 Kent and a 113 Kent, all grafted,at the bottom of my patch that I will use for pollinators and as possible producers of seed melons. I now see that since these plants have grown so fast, I could have easily gone with the smaller plants and still had a very early and quality start to my season. BTW, I had my first female blossom open today. I hadn't noticed it, and Chris was here to take a look at my plants and he noticed it and pointed it out to me.
