No green house other then for starting plants ( wooden floor so ?) just outside . I just harvested my first cantaloupe .....nice and ripe , sure was sweet ......better then the green ones sold in the grocery stores here !
Takes about three and a half months before I get my first taste of the melons , in a week or so I'll be sampling my first one .......thinking 8 to 10 lbs ? , might be heavier ? but hoping it's a good one so I can save seeds for next year .Haave enlarged the one garden by 28 feet wide and 150 feet .........first year on the plot is the best year for melons etc
No, the floor there is not wooden, only simple earth, but on this earth stand a greenhouse. We have a cold nights here. In the day can be +30 C, but in the night can be only + 10 C, or sometimes, in a cold summer, + 6 C. This is too cold for the watermelons, i think. We have a late spring and early autumn. For example, in the end of the May here can be a little frosts, or sometimes in the begin of the June.
I bought a little melons, special for this clima, it can be only 1-2 kg (2-4 lbs?), never heavier. I use a greenhouse, it is 12x3 meter (or feet), two long beds. Basically there are a cucumbers, but half of the beds are melons. If this year everything goes well, I will plant more melons (i must to see). I do not know, I will have time or not, but I'm going to build another greenhouse and had already prepared for this a metal poles and chose the place.
In Rusia grow a large melons, but not here, it's far from Moscow, somewhere further south, in Astrakhan, for example. 1390, no, 1450 km from my house ))) Too far for to buy there any plot ))
