I don’t know what happened to my cantelopes this time. They were doing great, healthy vines, loaded with big melons, then almost overnight, the melons turned to mush. I got one good melon from three hills.
I planted five hills of watermelon. There are more than we will be able to eat. I think I’ll send the extras to the produce auction on Friday, along with a couple hundred pounds of pie pumpkins.
Our canteloupes start out great, but then the vines just wilt and die practically overnight. Fruit doesn’t even get big enough to turn to mush.
Same with watermelons.
Cukes are only a little better. Zukes and squash produce, but eventually have same problem.
