I may try your watermelon; the "Minnesota Midget" (which you think would do well in cooler climes) just does not make large fruit.Eight Gate Farm NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877942009419912353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-69824345780654056492015-09-15T09:37:05.177-04:002015-09-15T09:37:05.177-04:00Thanks, Susie.

Sometimes the harvest comes on so fast that there just isn't time to process everything.Your melon looks great. If you can grow that melon, you can grow my "blacktail mountain" watermelon. It only takes 70 days to mature.

I'll have to go to the farmers market to buy my applesauce apples this year.

It will be a couple of years until ours begin to produce, if all goes well...give me a minute to find some wood to knock on ;)<br /><br />Funny how the weather can be so similar hundreds of miles apart - we broke out the sweaters this past weekend, but it looks like shorts are in the forecast once again now.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-7346713270446049712015-09-14T10:07:37.911-04:002015-09-14T10:07:37.911-04:00WOW!
