How To Grow Cantaloupe

How To Grow Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe is another one of my favorite melons. It produces really well, and we are able to get lots of melons per plant. I don’t love cantaloupe from the store, however, cantaloupe fresh out of a garden is really good. These are melons and are grown and planted similarly to watermelons.

Make sure not to plant them until all threat of frost is past. These plants grow well in hot weather. Make a large circle in the soil and plant 3 to 4 seeds in the circle. If you are planting these in a raised bed, plant them in the corner and train them to run over the side of your raised bed.

Once your plant is the size that you want, you can pinch off any curly cues as they start to form new vines so the energy can be spent growing melons. I think the easiest way to tell if a cantaloupe is ripe is through the smell. Also, the cantaloupe will have turned from green to brown and cream colored. Looking at the bottom of the melon can help you see if it is ripe as well.

House Damage

March 28, 2010 By 10 Comments

Just thought I would let you guys know where I am. We have had terrible storms this evening, our retaining wall collapsed and we have had more flooding problems. For some reason we still have power, but I think we will be cleaning up all day tomorrow and late tonight, so you probably won’t be hearing from me. Of course, since I’m pregnant my hubby is limiting my activities, so you never know. We’ll see. I hope that all of you are safe and dry tonight. Thanks!! Rene

How to Grow Eggplant

How to Grow Eggplant

Eggplants are like bell peppers. They like hot weather. They can’t be planted when there is any danger of frost. Also, these do better if you start them inside 4-8 weeks before you plant them outside. They need to be planted about 2 feet apart. Wait for your eggplant to get shiny and then it can be harvested. Eggplants need rich soil to grow well. Also, make sure that you get any bugs off of the plant. They are sensitive plants, and don’t like bugs.
