jsharr Posted April 19, 2019 Share #8 Posted April 19, 2019 Way to early for watermelons here. The only place to buy a watermelon is out of the back of the truck on the side of the road out in the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted April 19, 2019 Share #9 Posted April 19, 2019 My Dad used to grow them every summer on our small farm in NC. That was our big treat in the summer. All the watermelon you could eat! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn Posted April 19, 2019 Share #10 Posted April 19, 2019 I have been buying them for a couple months now. They were from Honduras but now I’m getting them from Florida. The LGS is selling them for $4.50. They are really sweet and good. Aldi and Walmarts are selling them for $7.00. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted April 20, 2019 Share #27 Posted April 20, 2019 Quote Melons Environmental Preferences LIGHT: Sunny. SOIL: Well-drained with moderate organic matter; sandy. FERTILITY: Medium. pH: 6.0 to 7.5 TEMPERATURE: Hot (70 to 85°F). MOISTURE: Average Cultural Practices Muskmelons and watermelons are warm-season crops requiring a long growing season of 80 to 100 days from seed to fruit. Most present varieties are not well suited to small gardens because of the space requirement. Newer bush varieties are available for use in small gardens. https://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/content/dam/pubs_ext_vt_edu/426/426-406/426-406_pdf.pdf ...all of these things I highlighted would argue that you can't grow a decent watermelon in a greenhouse. If you could give them enough space under glass, and keep it hot enough, you might. But then your $7 watermelon would probably cost $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted April 20, 2019 Share #29 Posted April 20, 2019 ...you're welcome. Have I ever mentioned how good the local watermelons are here, when July and August rolls around ? They are the stuff of dreams and epic adventures. There's a melon called "Imagination" that has to be eaten to be believed. So sweet, so crisp, so juicy and flavorful....I guess those don't show up much in Greeneville, huh ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn Posted April 20, 2019 Share #31 Posted April 20, 2019 I bought another watermelon yesterday. The grandkids will be here tomorrow. I also bought some giant strawberries and more bananas. The LGS has been getting some amazing corn on the cob. I would never buy it from a grocery store before, especially in the off season but I don’t know where he gets it. It’ snot as good as fresh from the garden but it’s getting close. The GKs love corn on the cob. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
