No cantaloupes or watermelons

I do hope to use the next cool months to get things ready for next year and get a jump on things. All of the cantaloupes, watermelons, and pumpkins I planted this year failed dismally. They had yellow leaves and tiny fruit. This was the first planting. I had a sandy area where there was a water head, so I added about five bags of amendment (turkey shit based locally suggested stuff) and a Steve out of lurk mode.... around here (SE Illinois) the turkey amendment is disked into the soil in the fall and allowed to cool off over the winter months. Linda H. Was out there today attacking the biomass until the weed whacker died. Got the parts and got it fixed, and will be out there tomorrow. Will definitely till everything in now, and let it do its thing until spring. Thanks. Steve |
