I planted my seedless watermelons in the peat pots today. I've never had very good luck with this kind of thing, but I'm trying harder this time. I just have 2 varieties Olympia and TriX 313 and the pollinator. I'm actually trying to follow the directions.
I planted a few Fairytale seeds, they are a flat mahoghany colored squash/pumpkin. I haven't planted them for a few years b/c of the long season on them, but they are really striking. I brought one to a fair and it won largest hard stem pumpkin, it was 54#. Most are 15#-30#.
I planted a speciality pumpkin called One Too Many. It is a conversation piece. It's a white soft skinned pumpkin with red veins kind of like your eyes after a hard night. They are a little longer day too in order for the color to develop.
I marked out the square for the corn maze yesterday. It will be 400' x 400', I supposed that's a little short of 4 acres. We started regular corn planting yesterday (we had a snow day last Wednesday, go figure) so it'll get planted pretty soon. I'm still deciding on the design. We just do the square, I figure you can't see the design from the ground anyway.
That's as far as I am.
