I sowed 18 more basins of Israeli melons. I used seed saved from my best melons last year.
For soil prep, I used only Agronomic Partners IQ Amino-N.
On January 28, 1986, I skipped classes at Waxahachie High to sow sweet peas in the field next to my house.
I was unaware that the Space Shuttle Challenger had exploded that morning until my friend called me and asked if I had heard the news. Immediately, I turned on the TV and found all the major networks covering the story.
Still, the events of that day are tied together in my memory, and each year that I sow sweet peas, I remember the date that I sowed Wando sweet peas and harvest the greatest yield I've ever picked.
This year as the date approached, I made sure to have seed on hand, and I sowed the peas on Friday, January 27, 2017, in the same field where I grew sweet peas in 1986.
