So I had a gardening question for you guys. When you go to do crop rotation on a piece of land or your backyard garden schedule, the idea is to try to get a different kind of plant in the spot that you used for something else. Also you allow for rest periods. This is just for reference for my question but yes you could go into great length of the details much better than I could.
My question is... if I had cucumbers in a spot last year... I'm worried if melons are too close to cucumbers in plant type? DO they use the same nutrients? Supposedly if they are different enough there's less damage from using the same resources. And this is what I'm curious about specifically for cucumbers and melons.
The reason I ask this is that when you have small sproutlings/seedlings etc for cucumbers and melons they look so similar. If you didn't know which was which you might not be able to tell them apart. And this is what prompted the question.
Thank you.
