All right you Northerners! I suffer serious zone envy when it is so bloody hot and humid here that everything in the garden wilts (including me) and dies. We have to plant early or starve down here.
I also am jealous at how fast you get up to speed when the weather does fair off. Closer to the sun or longer days or better soil???
I grew up in the frozen tundra on Minnesota and watermelons were never considered a crop. Growing season was just too short. We frequently grew our own cantaloupes and they were really good.
Now, my mouth is watering for melon.
