I’m beyond proud of this Kazakh #melon plant for setting fruit! I found three little fuzzy balls (heh) today. Melons are pretty marginal up here by the Puget Sound, so I did everything I could think of to maximize my chances. I started seeds twice, one in May (still too cold) and again in June. The first seedlings included two watermelon, in case we got a blazingly hot early summer. (Spoiler: we didn’t.) By June I’d tempered my hopes and just started the three most cold-tolerant, short season varieties I had. When I transplanted the second batch out, I put them in the warmest part of the garden. And they’re doing it! Go melons!
