Hi Everyone,

Well, our watermelon is setting fruit! Hurray!

I'm so excited! I've never grown watermelon before, so I wanted to ask if there were any tips or tricks involved. I have heard to place a barrier between the soil and fruit to keep bugs at bay. Anything else I ought to know? I heard boron will sweeten the fruit... Ever heard of that? And, if you have, is there any ordinary household material that I could use, e.g. Eggshells (calcium), coffee grinds, or banana peel?

The fruit seems to almost double in size overnight!

Thanks in advance, ATP! Smiling
