I got 72 plants earlier in the late spring to plant but rain set in and it was too wet to put them in the ground. The plants ended up getting long and leggy in the trays. I took a few of the plants and went stick them in my old plies of rice chaff compost. I didn’t expect any of them to survive but every one of them took off. They covered the whole compost pile and a chunk of the yard. Got melons everywhere. Picked the first one a couple days ago and I’m impressed. No fertilizer and only water they got was from the few rains we had. These are Summer Sweet 720s. And the sweetness is off the charts. Needless to say I ordered a bunch of seed for next spring. Should have several more the same size or bigger ready in a few days.
