Hello Group;
I've been busy like everyone in the garden. Notice how few posts
everyone has made to the list lately, so much work to get ready in spring.
Anyway, this is what I've planted this year with room for one more. All these
are in the garden, just waiting for the rain to stop and the sun to come out
here in Connecticut.

I've had trouble germinating white seeds this year. They have rotted, some
before sprouting some after. I believe they need less water with there
missing seed coat. I also think warmer, dryer heat will give better germ. of
white seeds. I'm still trying to get a successful germ. of my white 614 seed
of last year. For those of you that have been lucky enough to see George
Webster's new video, the 614 is the boat pumpkin in his video. Has anyone on
this list that I sent a 614 to had a successful germ. of this seed? I did not
have many seeds as most germ. in the pumpkin before harvest.
