Planted my pumpkins the Direct Start Method with Soil Heating Cables in the
mounds. The forecast was for a decent week coming up with maybe a shower a
day or two. So much for that!
Weather following the planting.
4/16 Mostly Cloudy with showers 58/73.
4/17 Cloudy late day Snow/Sleet Showers 42/52
4/18 Cloudy Showers 38/47 Cold Wind off the icy Atlantic
4/19 Cloudy Rain .35 39/43
Not what you would call ideal germination weather.
Results
AG-803.5-AE-99 (Al Eaton) Broke Ground in four days.
AG-560-98-GB (The Living Dead) Broke Ground in 5 days.
Not bad!
Some sun today, but rain for the next 3 days then the weather should break.
Well, back to planting my Tomatoes (have a special method for that too).
