What does it take to grow watermelons in Lower NY state ?
Hi Dwayne,
You might try sometime, planting them inside about a month before
you can
transplant them outside. You don't want to wait any longer, because
they
have a "tap root". If you leave them inside too long, the "tap
root" curls
around inside the planting pot, and I feel it will cause you to get
the
wrong signals for when the time is right for picking the melon.
When transplant, I do remove all the curls root show on the surface of
potting soil that due to pot bound. This work well.
Regards,
Wong
