But we glad we left some to bolt last year. That we have self-sowed lettuce for us this winter.Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-9741387438813579822011-07-28T09:01:40.012-04:002011-07-28T09:01:40.012-04:00Shawn Ann, I've only succeeded in getting melo...Shawn Ann, I've only succeeded in getting melons one year. I've tried like four in the past. This garden is warmer though than my old garden and the soil warms up a lot faster. And of course this month has been very hot, which doesn't hurt. <br /><br />Mrs. Pickles, I can't wait for them to ripen up. Then I'll have to figure out when to pick them. Always a challenge for melons.<br /><br />Granny, lol you could rip it up and put in something else. But I bet you are still hoping. It would be what I would do. Pray for a miracle.<br /><br />michelle, yeah cilantro is really a spring plant. I sowed some in June but the plants just don't want to grow. They so hate the heat. <br /><br />Robin, I was planning on saving some peppers seeds, but with the bacterial spot I can't (transmitted via seed). But you can bet I'll be saving tomato seeds later in the summer.<br /><br />Veggie PAK, they seem quite healthy, but powdery mildew has been creeping in. I should start spraying them.<br /><br />GrafixMuse, oh so sad. It was a late spring this year which made a lot of things late. July is certainly trying to make up for a slow spring though.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-47831815219178846152011-07-27T21:17:26.897-04:002011-07-27T21:17:26.897-04:00Thanks for the info on seed saving.

I'm still finding borage volunteers coming up from that plant - I love it! But the cilantro seems to be petering out - there were too many volunteers early this year and now there's almost none. I would be ecstatic about those beautiful melons, last year the rodents got every one of mine and even if they hadn't I doubt that they would have been very good since it's just not warm enough here to sweeten them up.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-85731739101626904552011-07-27T15:43:00.858-04:002011-07-27T15:43:00.858-04:00I have one melon plant that survived from three I ...I have one melon plant that survived from three I planted from a store bought cantaloupe. No chance it will bear any fruit this late in the season, so I'm calling it a "ground cover" :-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-57602693650618268112011-07-27T14:27:45.128-04:002011-07-27T14:27:45.128-04:00Great information.

I have had a terrible time with melons except for the very first year I gardened, I had tons of them and the vines were everywhere! I don't know what I did, but I wish I could do it again! Watermelon is even worse. Can't even get one decent one! Yours look really good! I do have one that is about an inch or so big right now. Ha, not too big! I have about 7 plants scattered around the garden!Shawn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242486533549946479noreply@blogger.com
