Hydroponic melons moved outdoors

Lows at night are in the 50s and highs in the day are in the 70s at this time in March.

I've now moved to the outdoors the melons that I started in hydroponic buckets back in February.

After about a week of hardening off, they will be spread out in the field.

Straightneck squash planted March 21, 2021

Today, I planted 20 containers of straight neck summer squash. I used last year's perlite in each of the Bato buckets, only pulling out the roots to last year's crops. In some of the buckets I needed to top off the perlite with new perlite. The seeds were from Willhite, tested October 2018. I sowed five seeds in each bucket. April 4, 2021 update: reseeded after poor germination so far.
