A Beautiful Day for Planting!

    On the east side of the front vegetable garden, I have three stakes in the ground about 10 feet apart, marking off where there will be melons growing. 

The danger of frost has passed, so today I planted ’Honey Rock’ cantaloupe seeds under the southernmost stake, and ‘Sugar Baby’ watermelon seeds under the center and northernmost stakes.  These seeds were planted ½”-1" deep.  The soil in the front vegetable garden isn’t all that sandy, but it is crumbly enough to work.
The ‘Sugar Baby’ watermelons are an icebox variety, so it produces small melons.  That’s why I planted two sets of seeds.
