    Thanks Erica,

    Forgive my lack of knowledge but what would happen if the 2 cross pollinate?

    If they cross …
    If they cross pollinated, the seeds in the melons would spawn a water/honeydew hybrid vegetable once planted. It actually might be interesting.. but It only matters if you plan on saving the seeds from the harvested melons to use next season

    That sounds awesome!! I’ve never heard of such a creation. I’m actually starting to hope that happens. I get your point about the seeds though. Thanks Zenjirou!

    No kidding. You’re right. I’m a few weeks in and it’s getting very crowded already! I removed some of the tomato and bell pepper plants to make room but it’ll still very crowded. I might do a follow up video in a month to show the progress!

    Neat. I’m looking forward to it. It is set up beautifully though. You made use of the small space you had to do it. I wish you the best with it and I’ll be looking out for your video.

    Oh and by the way, that tool that you don’t know the name for that pulls the soil out in the perfect shape.. it’s called a bulb planter. Again, good luck with your garden!

    the best way to do …
    the best way to do any back yard gardens is Square foot gardening. Every square equals a plant……example……
    green bell pepers 1 square, Tomato 1 square leafy lettus 4 per square. corn 1 square. Green onions (bunching onion) 16 per square.Cabbage 1 per square, carrots 16 per square. ext..then all you need is the sun, good soil and water. your lucky your first garden only cost 200 mine cost 5000 anyway… have fun. you wil become addicted to it, just like the rest of us crazies…. :)

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
