watermelons

[riskey58]

I myself have never tried to grow watermelons. But I have a neighbor that grows them every year. I guess that is why we haven't grown any. Because is always giving us watermelon.

I grow them each year, and never tire of having fresh fruit available. They keep well thankfully, so we don't have to eat too much at once!

We grow them at the top of a slope so they grow down hill and hide the slope. We do have to watch out for mildew if the weather is damp, and plant them early enough that they get enough sun to ripen at the end.

We tried growing them when I was younger and they ended up on the small side and not that great. We put a lot of effort in, so I haven't tried since...just doesn't seem worth it.
