For transplanting anything in the Cucurbit family, it seems that any root disturbance is basically a death sentence, so your newspaper idea is fantastic. Biggest thing is to remember that trying to plant multiple plants in a single container that will require separation upon transplanting will ruin your melon dreams.

I actually grew watermelons this year and they turned out great! Although I didn’t do the best job because it was my first time planting watermelons, it was really fun and felt very rewarding when I finally harvested and ate them. I had a batch of 6 watermelons. Don’t know what type they were though.
@Gadsdentreadlightly2 жыл бұрын
I'm in south Louisiana USA. Quick tip if you have a bit too much wet weather or want to allow them to ripen on the vine longer to encourage extra sweetness, rotate the melons on the vine to keep the white / yellow spot on the bottom from turning into rot.

One of these days I'll remember that your growing seasons are flipped compared to here in the US before I start watching a video and not be slightly confused for the first 20 seconds lol. It's a nice change of pace that you collect a whole bunch of footage over the course of growing something for one video rather than making multiple videos over the course of growth. Your channel has a nice laidback calmness, and it's easy to see how much you enjoy growing things and all your animals. I also enjoy getting to see a whole bunch of cool and unique plants being grown that I can't grow due to my climate. Thank you for sharing all this with us :).

Been trying to get some grapes up and running and with the pandemic I finally did since I had the time.

The first year I planted late and the melons only grew to softball size. The other two years I lost most of my garden to extreme heat. We are in a serious drought situation so I’ll be transitioning some produce to indoor hydroponics. I will be reconfiguring my garden to create a less hostile microclimate🤞. I might give the Moon and Stars another try.
