You’re in VA though so longer growing season, right? Or no?

Ya it’s hot now... it’ll be hot till October. My oldest wore shorts every day last year. He’s starting on 2 years almost lol. He says it’s so hot here

Yep! Have a look!

Same leaves. The flowers are different though because squash are all Cucurbitaceae Cucurbita (which get big flowers) and cucumbers and muskmelons are C. Cucumis (with small flowers). Watermelons are C. Citrullus but also have small flowers.

Pumpkin seems super likely if that's something that's been composted in the fall.

Awesome!!! Thanks for all the info!! I meant to plant melons but just never did. Maybe next year haha
