sweetness for several days after picking. Harvest ears when kernels
reach 70–75% moisture or release milky liquid when punctured with a
fingernail. If storage is necessary, hold at 32° F and 95–98% RH.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Practice crop rotations. Destroy or in-
corporate crop residue to control leaf blights. Stewart's Wilt, a serious
bacterial disease, is spread by the flea beetle and can be difficult to
manage in areas of heavy flea beetle pressure. Use Bacillus thuringien-
sis (Bt) for suppression of corn ear worms or cut off damaged portion
of ears prior to sale.

HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest muskmelons at full slip for fresh market
sales, half slip for shipping. Honeydew melons are ripe when the stem
end is slightly springy and the skin begins to turn a creamy yellow.
Watermelons are difficult to determine ripeness, however, with experi-
ence the hollow sound emitted when thumping with your finger can
be a reliable technique. USDA grade 1 melons must have at least 8%
sugar content, but 10–14% is desirable for fresh market. Sugars will not
increase post-harvest. Best marketed fresh, but if storage is necessary,
melons may be held for short periods. Ideal holding temperatures are
32–34°F and 75% RH for muskmelons, and 36–40°F and 75–85% RH for
honeydews and watermelons.
PEST AND DISEASE PREVENTION Foliar diseases such as Powdery and
Downy Mildew, Alternaria Blight, and Anthracnose can be managed
by avoiding overhead irrigation, using mulches to minimize splash-
dispersal of spores, and practicing crop rotations for all species of
Cucurbitaceae. Floating row covers prior to flowering will protect from
cucumber beetle damage.

PLANTING Peppers are most often transplanted due to slow and er-
ratic germination at low temperatures. Optimum germination occurs
at 70–85°F. Start in the greenhouse and plant out 6–8 week seedlings
when daytime temperatures reach 70°F and nighttime temperatures
are above 55°F. (Note: number of seeds/lb. can vary widely between
varieties). Use our Planting Guide to determine seed depth, spacing
and rates.
HARVEST/STORAGE Harvest when fruits are full grown, but still firm
and crisp. Optimum harvest stage depends on the needs of a particular

being careful not to break branches or damage plants. Harvest fre-
quently to maintain production. Market fresh or store at 45–50°F and
90–95% RH. Do not store below 42°F.

stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly
buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between
genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties
have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered
seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to
healthy people and communities.” —Seeds of Change (from the Council for Responsible Genetics, www.gene-watch.org)
