Well, so it goes when your farmin' sometimes you just call 'em wrong. I put White Wonder Watermelons in the high tunnel today. I have been holding on to them until just the perfect root development and until the weather was looking like it would settle. Today seemed perfect until the late afternoon rolled around, the temperature started diving and the whole forecast changed. Right now it is 33 outside and we are expecting a low in the lower 20's. The wind is howling and there is a possibility of snow. With a double layer of reemay, a whole lotta hopin' and a little bit of luck, the melons will pull through and I will have some good and early melons this year! Ahhhh Wyoming, a market farmer's paradise!
