This was the first year that I tried honeydew melons and it was a pretty good year for them. Even though only one out of four plants survived I still think that it was a good year with the first honeydew melon that I picked today. I have been growing melons for a long time and mainly cantaloupe and watermelons. Since these are all melons they will pretty much need the same care as one another. Adding another melon was just a simple step and nothing too major.
It is a good size, but I am more concerned about the taste of the melon. As long as it is sweet and juicy like a melon should taste, then I will be happy with this years melon harvest.
Four more peppers added to the list today. There were only four to pick this afternoon and I didn't want to pick any that were not ready for consumption. I like to leave them out until they have grown to their maximum size and then harvest them. Today I found a couple that were beginning to go from green to red. This is when I know I left them on the plant too long.
