watermelons
« on: June 30, 2020, 10:56:03 am »
Hello,
I am a new member and pretty new to gardening (food growing, that is). I've planted watermelons in the root and veggie box. I have 4 melons about the size of a grapefruit so far, but several smaller (ping-pong ball size) have turned black and shriveled up. Any ideas why this is happening and what I should do?

Many thanks,
Cynthia
