Default watermelon
(loonyhiker) wrote in message om...
Hi y'all!

I'm so excited! I've got my first little round watermelon on my vine!
What should I do now? I've heard that they rot when they lay on the
soil so I bought some pine needles and put them under them. How long
will it take for it to grow ripe enough to eat? How will I know when
it is ripe enough to pick? Thanks for any help you can give me.

If you have coyotes in the area they will let you know. The night
before melons are ready to pick, a pack of coyotes will destroy every
melon in your patch. I gave up trying to grow them for that very
reason.
