gardening? hmm

Have started carrots, cantalope, and watermellon. So far it only looks like the carrits have begun growing

Those aren't carrots, they're one of the melons. Melons need heat to sprout seed, between 80 and 90. Carrots are a cool season crop, they probably won't sprout in a Texas summer.

Melons have a broad leaf. Carrots leaves are more lacey.

Ooooh so then my momma's cantalope. I wondered why every time I gave it water itll be almost twice the size the next day o.o

 

[TherryChicken]

Yeah thats what I thought too, but didnt think id see the cantalope yet

Temperature will dictate how long it takes any specific seed to sprout. Seed of cool season plants may not sprout at all when it's hot. Seed from warm season plants may not sprout at all when soil is cool. Each species has a soil temperature sweet spot. Cooler or warmer will slow germination.

That's not watermelon....at least not a commonly available variety. Honestly looks more like a squash family, but could be a honeydew. Watermelons have rounded lobed leaves.

Cantaloupe

I planted watermellon, cantaloupe, and carrots. This has to be the cantaloupe
