Wednesday evening I seeded all the Melons, Cucumbers & Squash. Weather permitting they will be planted out May 24th so this will give them about a 3 week head start. They were seeded in peat pots, then covered with plastic wrap and placed on the heat mat. I started the following:- Two Cucumber, Armenian (Actually in the melon family, Cucumis melo var. flexuosus)
- Four Cucumber, Double Yield
- Three Melon, Charentais Savor
- Three Melon, Petite Gris
- Three Squash, Delicata (from Skippy's Vegetable Garden)
- Three Squash, Red Kuri
- One Zucchini, Cocozelle
I checked on them Saturday morning and noticed that about 60% had germinated. Now that they are germinating I placed them out in the cold frame so they don't go leggy. They will however not be out long because next week is going to have some pretty low night time temps. Starting tomorrow night I will be bring all the warm season veggies inside until the nights are warmer.That's really all there is to update on the veggies. I was planning on having the triple mix delivered Friday for the new beds but that did not work out. Our neighbor was using the shared drive to the side so I didn't have access to get the soil out back. Not sure when it will be done now but it really needs to be soon. This weekend is being spent installing all the framing on the fence I posted about way back when. It is going well and the plan is to have all the framing in place by the end of the weekend. It will be nice to have privacy in the back yard again.
