I had total crop failure! I was attempting to grow 2 cultivars: "Collective Farm Woman" from Russia and "Oka" melon from Montreal, both of which were said to do well in shorter growing seasons. I followed the instructions on the seed packets, but the plants, after growing and creeping and sending out tiny little "melon-ettes," simply browned and shriveled. Of course, I watered them during our very dry summer, so they didn't dry up. Any advice for me, or should I just move on to something else next year?Cynthiahttp://diggingri.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-24780351846123425572010-09-09T13:10:23.614-04:002010-09-09T13:10:23.614-04:00Lovely fruit!

Envy your melons, look so delicious and mouth-watering, although both charentais melon and asian melon look new to me, and I don't think I have ever tasted them before. I only have papaya in my garden that is currently bearing the fruits. I also grow one pomgranate majorly for its beautiful flower. It started from a seed from store-bought pomgranate.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-60207789891458817232010-09-09T03:05:08.869-04:002010-09-09T03:05:08.869-04:00Hi Wendy, 5 melons in one vine is fantastic.

Your description of it sounds amazing. I am so impressed that your dad is growing dates. I have never seen anyone growing that before. And you are growing Pomegranates! Are you growing the dwarf variety? I was thinking of buying a plant from Gurneys. Not sure yet because I don't know how big it gets.meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-87619304570278400832010-09-08T23:58:07.286-04:002010-09-08T23:58:07.286-04:00Hi Wendy, Every day I grab me a handful or two of ...Hi Wendy, Every day I grab me a handful or two of berries, straws, rasps and blues.

I've been blogging about my one cantaloupe grown from seed from a supermarket melon, and I still have another two weeks to go before it will be ready. Just thinking about cutting into it makes me feel a little nervous. My expectations are high! :-)thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.com
