    We grow tons now in Tote/Storage Containers, on the free, and I even just picked another one minutes ago for dinner dessert. Melons are one of the most wonderful to grow! Funny!🤣

    I love Jacques being so excited by the fruits of their labor that he INHALES the food. I have no doubt he was just like that as a little kid, and it’s precious AF.
    But please don’t choke plzthx

    I LOVE you two together, bouncing off each others humor. Lol even when its only a little funny. And then you're hilarious!!!
    And btw, I learned something about gardening too! When a melon is ripe, the little twisty thing and the nearby leaf (spoon leaf?). Having fun while learning is the BEST!!! 💞🥳👍

    After watching any of these videos I feel that you guys can't top yourselves, but then you surprise me with a new video where it's even better than the last.
    Love the humour and the banter as you share knowledge. Thanks heaps!

    The yellow interior of that melon was insane! Looked so delicious! 🍈

    Hey ya'all,
    Try honeydew w/ a scoop of berry (raspberry or black berry the best, but other berries work, too) sorbet or Italian ice in the center. Yum!!! 😋

    • @stacyhall3061

    Have cantaloupe, honeydew and sugar baby watermelon that are just starting to grow in SoCal 10b. I hope they make it 😬 My Asian apple melon is further along with plenty flowers on it.

  • @cathycrowder2226
    @cathycrowder2226 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Like I said in your last video about the watermelons - they need the really hot weather to take off! Two years ago I planted Charleston Greys
    and I had 5 watermelons about 20lbs each. Again we had a heat wave and the melons took off. That was fun!
    FYI horses, cows and buffalo and more all love melons!

  • @nuclearscarab
    @nuclearscarab 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I have those tiny black ants, kind of annoying, but they pick cantaloupe for me at the perfect time. They smell the sweetness and chew right through the stem, always at the right time.

    Vanilla bean ice cream and cantaloupe is amazing. I was introduced to it when I lived in Australia. Passion fruit is also amazing on vanilla ice cream.

  • @athomewithrobandtim
    @athomewithrobandtim 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    that's a great harvest y'all got! We didn't have much success this year growing our melon, heat might have had something to do with it. But we are looking forward to trying again next year and get a harvest like yours!

    Love your cut board and dry board maybe you could put piano hinges on it and just be able to lift it up to lean against back window so you don’t have to completely remove it?

    Melons like cantaloupe, etc. tastes great with ice cream. Also with lots of salt and pepper.

  • @jaymeelk9380
    @jaymeelk9380 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So funny guys! Finally grew 1 watermelon in zone 4b! Thanks to Fruition seeds for Ambrosia Watermelon! Voles ate all the rest, and all the beans, but I protected this one with onion bag netting and I keep the whole plant dry and warm by tucking it in at night or if rain /cold, under a shower curtain. Can’t wait to taste my first homegrown watermelon!

  • @gangofgreenhorns2672

    Once again wondering if there is a PO box I can send you guys some stabilized/open-pollinated sungold seeds.

  • @archie-rv
    @archie-rv 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you do a video on the updates of what composting method do you currently use in your garden….I know you showed different kinds in the past but I wanted to see what you stuck to (bokashi/worm bin/hot compost) and why you choose one over other in your existing garden

  • @SWCnetworkdr
    @SWCnetworkdr 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Off-topic suggestion...add a couple of hooks to the to the wall next to the sink for hanging the drying board, rather that leaning it. Saves a small amount of counter space and just looks neater. (My OCD kicking in)

  • @Ellerard
    @Ellerard 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hey Kevin! Would it be better to stop watering the melons for about 2 days prior to picking in order to concentrate the sugars inside the inherent water volume, thereby giving you a sweeter tasting melon??

    • @Gkrissy
      @Gkrissy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question, because I noticed my first sugar baby watermelon was not as sweet because I watered it more up to the day I picked it. But the second watermelon was much sweeter.

    Great video! Love the dynamic you two have. I wish I could grow melons right now, but we just don't have enough space. I'm trying to convince my dad to grow them on his acerage 😆🤞 I was wondering if the size of the field spot matters or if it's just about the color of it?

    I grew those honey blondes here!!! They were soooo sweet when they were ripe. But they took forever to get ripe! I was like, "any day now..." "any day now..." for like 5 weeks. ;'D So worth it, though.

    Watermelon has to be chilled. Mine came in about a month ago. None got big, but they were tasty. I was told to use more fertilizer. I’m trying that with my second crop.

    That thing is bigger than Saturn's rings.
