Vegetable Gardening: Watermelon

I planted two different watermelon plants in the same bed as last year. I have added a lot more organic material over the winter and turned the soil several times try and mix the clay, leaf mulch, coffee grounds and new top soil. I also managed to plant them nearly 2 months earlier. I hope I have better luck this year. I planted a Charleston Gray (left) and a Jubilee (right). I’ll have to see if one does better than the other and see which one the taste testers prefer.
