The beginning to your season sounds alot like mine. Cool weather, rain, more rain! I finally got my plants in the ground this past Monday. Further behind than I'd like to be but it is what it is. I have had black plastic down for about a month to warm the soil and it really helped the plants take off once I got them in the ground. I have five plants out, so far the order of performance is as follows: 255 Mitchell - 255 Mitchell - 267 Edwards - 217 Pleasant - 139 Leonard. The 139 is a week behind the others. I also have two back-ups going in pots still. They are 267 and 217. Good Luck to all you Melon Heads...
