The grand watermelon patch. About 2 months ago all five grands participated in planting their watermelon garden. I have been a little worried because they all went home and left the patch in my inexperienced hands until they returned. Not much has been going on until recently but now we have a few melons. They planted ice box sizes and some 25-30 pound sizes. Looks like they will need to downsize their expectations. The 25-30 pound size appears to be on target for icebox size and the icebox size looks like they will be personal size.

I think all us gardener types have to do that!

A little urea and some water and they may still make some good sized melons…at least here it’s a month too early to harvest those.

Thanks. I currently have plenty of Calcium Nitrate. Do you think a little of this around each plant will help?
Be great in moderation…and especially if it came a good rain that night!

They would and your grands have been growing right along with your trees and vines! Now it will be time for a watermelon seed spitting contest!

This could be interesting in that all they have eaten before were seedless.

Forgot to mention that while watering the melons this morning I used your water only for aphid removal. Worked great.
