    We use to grow Charleston gray and Congo a while back. Now we plant Jubilee. Our favorite is a seedless watermelon that we pick up at the grocery store. We have gotten picky in our old age. LOL

    Beautiful flowers so envious of you. We plan on planting our Wild Flower Mix that we purchased from you around the first of May. Really hoping that it goes over good and of course our Bees loving it too. Can't really say as to a favorite on watermelons. We are planting the Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelon this year. We have heard good things as to the Sangria so maybe that later? Appears that the Old Goat is wanting to spice things up a bit. as he is hidden behind the Peppers and Garlic!

    My favorite watermelon to grow is the Jubilee, Charleston Gray and Crimson Sweet. They are good but mainly because my grandaddy grew them way back in the day and I just kinda feel closer to him and I know he would be proud. Trying the Sangria too this time.

    Hurricane Ian planted some watermelon seeds in one of my raised beds. I planted pumpkins that did terrible in that bed last year. The rouge watermelons started taking off in January. I harvested a huge one about a week too early. The others are almost ready to harvest. One is even growing on the walkway pavers! I only hose watered them daily - no fertilizer. Nature is so unpredictable! Old goat in the vegetables behind Sheila.

  • @cruciferousvegetable
    @cruciferousvegetable ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I plant only from seed based on soil temp 75 deg. So I plant late and they surpass seedlings started in a greenhouse. The melons can never get exposed to cold soil, this permanently stunts growth. Full sun, six feet apart. It may be overkill ,but i make sure that I cut the vine past the watermelon. One melon per vine. If I find two babies, I cut off the smaller one. I get 30lb crimson reds even though the seed packet says up to 20 lb. I use irrigation until the last month, then I cut the irrigation. Lots of foliar fertilization.
