    We grow tons now in Tote/Storage Containers, on the free, and I even just picked another one minutes ago for dinner dessert. Melons are one of the most wonderful to grow! Funny!🤣

    After watching any of these videos I feel that you guys can't top yourselves, but then you surprise me with a new video where it's even better than the last.
    Love the humour and the banter as you share knowledge. Thanks heaps!

    I LOVE you two together, bouncing off each others humor. Lol even when its only a little funny. And then you're hilarious!!!
    And btw, I learned something about gardening too! When a melon is ripe, the little twisty thing and the nearby leaf (spoon leaf?). Having fun while learning is the BEST!!! 💞🥳👍

    I love Jacques being so excited by the fruits of their labor that he INHALES the food. I have no doubt he was just like that as a little kid, and it’s precious AF.
    But please don’t choke plzthx

    Hey ya'all,
    Try honeydew w/ a scoop of berry (raspberry or black berry the best, but other berries work, too) sorbet or Italian ice in the center. Yum!!! 😋

    Have cantaloupe, honeydew and sugar baby watermelon that are just starting to grow in SoCal 10b. I hope they make it 😬 My Asian apple melon is further along with plenty flowers on it.

    Like I said in your last video about the watermelons - they need the really hot weather to take off! Two years ago I planted Charleston Greys
    and I had 5 watermelons about 20lbs each. Again we had a heat wave and the melons took off. That was fun!
    FYI horses, cows and buffalo and more all love melons!

    I have those tiny black ants, kind of annoying, but they pick cantaloupe for me at the perfect time. They smell the sweetness and chew right through the stem, always at the right time.

  • @SWCnetworkdr
    @SWCnetworkdr 2 роки тому

    Off-topic suggestion...add a couple of hooks to the to the wall next to the sink for hanging the drying board, rather that leaning it. Saves a small amount of counter space and just looks neater. (My OCD kicking in)

  • @jaymeelk9380
    @jaymeelk9380 2 роки тому

    So funny guys! Finally grew 1 watermelon in zone 4b! Thanks to Fruition seeds for Ambrosia Watermelon! Voles ate all the rest, and all the beans, but I protected this one with onion bag netting and I keep the whole plant dry and warm by tucking it in at night or if rain /cold, under a shower curtain. Can’t wait to taste my first homegrown watermelon!

  • @christinahutchison3967
    @christinahutchison3967 2 роки тому +1

    Vanilla bean ice cream and cantaloupe is amazing. I was introduced to it when I lived in Australia. Passion fruit is also amazing on vanilla ice cream.

  • @Ellerard
    @Ellerard 2 роки тому +6

    Hey Kevin! Would it be better to stop watering the melons for about 2 days prior to picking in order to concentrate the sugars inside the inherent water volume, thereby giving you a sweeter tasting melon??

    • @Gkrissy
      @Gkrissy 2 роки тому +1

      Good question, because I noticed my first sugar baby watermelon was not as sweet because I watered it more up to the day I picked it. But the second watermelon was much sweeter.

    • @jennhoff03

  • @jennhoff03
    @jennhoff03 2 роки тому

    I grew those honey blondes here!!! They were soooo sweet when they were ripe. But they took forever to get ripe! I was like, "any day now..." "any day now..." for like 5 weeks. ;'D So worth it, though.

    Can you do a video on the updates of what composting method do you currently use in your garden….I know you showed different kinds in the past but I wanted to see what you stuck to (bokashi/worm bin/hot compost) and why you choose one over other in your existing garden

    Great video! Love the dynamic you two have. I wish I could grow melons right now, but we just don't have enough space. I'm trying to convince my dad to grow them on his acerage 😆🤞 I was wondering if the size of the field spot matters or if it's just about the color of it?

    That thing is bigger than Saturn's rings.

    My brother does not like cantaloupe and insists it smells like latex paint. I also do not like cantaloupe (or any melon for that matter), but I really do like the way all of them smell, and I don't get the latex paint vibe from cantaloupe. He also likes cilantro and I do not, so there you go.
