Watermelons have loved the weather since they were put in a couple of weeks ago. They really have grown and are vining out quick. It is cold now and will be for the next half week or so. It will warm up in the second part of the week and be back in the 80s for next weekend. This weekend looks to be really chilly and wet. We need the rain but tomorrows high is predicted to be in the upper 40's!
The AG's were transplanted right before the hot weather at the same time as the melons were planted, they have really suffered. The plants wilted a lot and now one of my plant's main vines has sunscald. (I have never seen that before). I am not too worried about it. Both the 1778 and 1994 Skinner are showing the Precocious B gene, with yellow leaves and yellow vines. Maybe they will both be nice and orange.
Two giant cantaloupes also went in the ground about a week ago. Both are on interspecific squash rootstock. They are off 56.2 English seed. I had major problems with graft failures this and I am not sure what to blame it on. However I did have quite a fungus gnat problem in the greenhouse and I believe this opened my roots up to fungal infection. (root rot)
