Seedless Watermelons

The Bee’s aren’t the only ones busy this time of year; it seems like there a million thing to do and only half the time to do them. I put out some cabbage, broccoli, and leaf lettuce this past week. My favorite variety of broccoli is Atlantis; it seems to grow quickly and has nice dense heads. I like my cabbage heads to weigh about 6-10 pounds for my road side stands. I now some people can grow 20-30 pound heads, but what are your going to do with all that cabbage?
I also planted my seedless watermelon today. If you have never grown seedless watermelon let me tell you, home grown seedless watermelon has it all beat. If you don’t know how to grow them they can be quite a challenge. The way we start our watermelon off is by planting them in our trays and then putting them in a dark hot room, around 90 degrees, and leaving them there for two days. You want to make sure that you trays are just moist otherwise they’ll rot in the trays. After you’ve left them in the dark room for a couple days take them to the greenhouse or into the sun and away they’ll grow.
