Our trellised sugar baby watermelon is doing great so far. Last Sunday, the kids and I measured the longest vine -- 33 inches and one flower. Yesterday, it measured 61 inches. Kai quickly did the math -- 28 inches in a week or 4 inches a day! There are too many flowers on the vines to count and we have our first inch and half long baby watermelon.Our squash is not doing all that great. The woman I talked to at Frager's suggested the soil might need more calcium or we might have a pollination problem. We better not have a pollination problem -- 20,000+ bees and not one of them is visiting my squash plants? What good are they?
Betting on the calcium deficiency, I added Tomato Tone this past Saturday. Hopefully that'll do it.
