One day (last Saturday I think) I was in a bad mood so I went for a walk and came across a farmers market.
To be frank here I had no real intention to stop and shop but after walking I felt a bit hungry. I thought why not, lets see what they got. So I went strolling through and was getting hungrier and hungrier and I realized I only had 19 pesos.
What was I going to buy with one dollar?
I saw the small melons and thought
mmmmm
Did I mentioned my hunger was all I could think about? lol
I didn't know how much these melons would even cost. But I took one anyways and went to the counter and made my purchase and received change back. go figure. Are your melons under a buck?
When I got back home I instantly went into the kitchen for the knife. I cut that sucker in half and halved it 2 more times and indulged myself to it's sweet taste.
It was really watery and dripped it everywhere.
as I took the last half with me outside and the knife to cut it down further, I saw my pot holder looking lonely. So I just dumped the entire case of seeds into the pot, covered it and hit it with the hose. I have been watering it ever day before and after the sun.
I do not regret that decision. I have actually grown really attached to it but now I have this looming fear.
What do i do with so much melon plants in such a small flower pot.
ahhhhh
I need to give each their own space their own room to grow.
or
will they be ok as they are???
I'm no green thumb here. I have also growing a row of cannabis and some orange trees that have yet to sprout out.
What you guys think I should do with the melons?
At least your's won't get mowed down by a dick.
lol. no, but it has a risk of being chewed up by my dog while I'm gone.
I would thin out almost all of the plants. It's so sad to kill the baby plants but you unfortunately have to. I would take scissors and at the soil level cut almost all of the plants. Save only the largest plants, I would only grow 1-2 plants in that pot. May you have an abundant harvest!
I have a huge backyard and plenty of space. Is replanting them as they are too risky? I don't want to lose any of them!
I know how you feel, thinning is my most hated part of gardening. It's worth a try to transplant some. Gardening is all about experimenting! :)
I am scouting for some extra pots. till the grow a bit more. I guess styrofoam cups will have to suffice.
I really appreciate your input. Thank you for dropping by.
It was a pleasure chatting with you as well. I'm following you to see updates, feel free to tag me in future melon posts!

STOPSome melons are fairly easy to grow, but I am curious what kind you are growing? I assume watermelon, perhaps honeydew melon?
