Natalie Bumgarner planted watermelon, cantaloupe and yellow squash when she was here about two weeks ago. They are all up and have a high germination rate. Of all the seeds only one of the cantaloupe did not come up. Because we double planted all of them, that won't be a problem. The peas are still going strong. We are getting about a pound a week from them. I am starting to see some problems however. Today there were aphids on the peas and there is also some powdery mildew. I think the peas are almost done so I am not going to do anything about it for now. If the aphids get too much worse I might spray with insecticidal soap. Hopefully the ladybugs will move in and take care of the problem for me.
