Melons need a well drained, sandy soil that is very well amended with lots of rich compost and composted manure. Deeply dug. They love the heat and need lots of water in the summer while the vines are growing. Some folks will use black plastic to warm up the soil.. When the melons grow in size...

Those melons look amazing! What variety are they?

Thank you! The largest Orangeglo watermelon weighed just under 10 pounds.. I have grown some in previous years that reached 12 to 14 pounds. That is really good for my zone 4 location. Every year will be different and depends on the weather and season. :)

They have a nice, sweet, refreshing melon taste. Yummy!

Jack, what a beautiful photo! You can really see the trees turning color from up high. I can tell you love and enjoy taking photo's and it is a passion of yours. What kind of camera do you have if you don't mind me asking?

The Cinderella "Rouge Vif d' Etampes", is beautiful. What a nice harvest Lavender.

Wow Carol! Those are some nice long vines! Your son and grandsons did good!

That is one beautiful squash Steve! :) Is this the first year for growing it?

majorcatfish, what a wonderful garden you have. :) It looks like you had great production on just about everything you planted! I really enjoyed the pictures.

My grandson loves this little melon.

Another shot.. The fruit fall off the vine when ripe. They smell wonderful also!

I also grew Rich Sweetness Melon. This is a beautiful little melon with very sweet white flesh. The fruit are red, stripped with golden yellow. They weigh about 1/4 pound or less.

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I have been on. I barely have time to breath these day's, but now that my garden has slowed down and the harvest has mostly been picked, canned and frozen, maybe I will find a bit more time to catch up and start posting again. All your melon pics look real...

My fruit trees by our home are surrounded and under planted with common comfrey, chives, different clovers, catmint and rhubarb. The new orchard will be under planted and surrounded with comfrey, clover and rhubarb. Ginny

The fun will be in seeing what kind of tomato and what variety you might end up with. If they were hybrids, you don't know what you will end up with!! If they were heirloom tomatoes they should be of the same and stable as long as they were not crossed! But, either way, I hope they do well and...
