I could do that. I must admit the tx gardener's around me won't water anything. They just let it die if it doesn't rain. I've talked to a few, and they are no more successful at getting melons than I am. It doesn't seem to matter what is done, some years no one gets melons, some years the tomato crop is dismal. Maybe it's out of our hands? I do appreciate Kent's input however, and can understand how too much water might crack, water down the flavor, etc. And, he gets melons, I do not.
