As of today, 17 total sprouted and are doing well from seed packet #4. Melon seed originally from Turkey.
Second set of leaves are just getting visable.
I’ve also included a photo of the cover of one of my favorite coloring books…im very much a visual learner and I needed to brush up on seed germination.
Temperature still holding around high nineties during the day and high sixties at night.
Sprinkled a handfull of Dr. Earth organic fertilizer with beneficial microbes and watered it in.
Planning on adding compost drenched with chicken manure tea this week to the bare spots between each seedling.
The start of 104 degree daytime temperatures predicted within the next 10 days.
