With only about an acre left I decided to take some time away from pruning the peach orchard to kick off the 2010 melon season. All the seeds got soaked for 20 minutes in 90 deg water and put in their bags for what I hope is a short stay in the incubator, its set at 99 deg. My line-up consists of at least one of each of the following: 175 Bhaskaran, 180 Bhaskaran, 214 Bright, 225 Bright, 129 Cantrell, 191 Holloway, 194 Holloway, 209 Kent, 213 Kent, 243.5 Kent, 259.2 Kent, 195 Knight, 199 Knight, 164 White and several generic Cobb Gem. As soon as we get some dry weather I'll pull plastic on raised beds. I've decided to raise them all in a modified plasticulture system.
