You still have time Don! Start seeds directly in the soil. You are only @ a 
week behind!

My first female flower buds appeared this morning.  The males have
been blooming for about a week.  The vines are about 8' long.  I
hadn't planned to pollinate till about July 1, and that's three weeks
away.

My first weighoff will be for the Kansas State Fair, about September
11, and my second chance is early October, I think about the 3rd or
4th.

This is Kansas, and I expect to have extremely hot temperatures in
July and August (100-105F, with some nights not going below 90F).
I'll have no shortage of water supply and my nutrient supply should be
excellent, too.

Shall I think seriously about going ahead with pollination in a few
days, or wait the three weeks till July 1?  What advice can you give
me?

cheers,
duchess of gladstone
