We've had a lot of rain again this spring, which is making planting somewhat challenging... On April 17th, I tilled & formed the row for the cantaloupe, then fertilized, planted the seeds & mulched these rows.... then it rained another 2.54". These seeds sprouted on April 21st.
The last of the seeds to be planted were the watermelon, which was finally accomplished on April 20th, after tilling & forming this row. I then fertilized, planted & mulched them.
Did I mention all the rain we've had??? Well because if it, he onions are looking like they did last year, so I'm going to pull them early before they start going bad. I'd hate to miss which is normally the best 6 weeks for growth but it is what it is... Today I harvested them & laid them out on the picnic tables in the party barn to start curing. I'll clean them up in about a week & then put them in the stacked curing trays to finish. There are a number of large ones, although they are not 'lunkers' (2 lbs +) by any means...
