Today I planted in flats melons and watermelons. I planted many seeds of each type. I planted Orangeglo Watermelons, Banana Melons, Mountain Hoosier Watermelon, Kansas Melon, and Million Dollar Melon. I think I am a little late getting my melon seeds started, but I don't like them to get very big before they get transplanted. I need to get my cucumbers and squash started soon, maybe I will get them started today as well.
I also did a flat of flowers. A couple of types of marigolds, a pansy, and viola. I also direct seeded some Mother of Pearl Poppies, I hope they come up and are a pretty as the picture.
All of these seed varieties named and the poppy picture came from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I like the selection and heirloom seed preservation from Baker Creek. I wish I could make it out to one of their festivals sometime, I am sure they are fun. Their catalog is the best I have seen, wonderful pictures and honest, accurate descriptions. It is such a good quality catalog it is worth keeping around as a reference book.
Everything is looking great so far in the garden, we have some flowers on the peas and have eaten a few radishes.
Happy Gardening
