These watermelons are in a place where they get no additional water other than what nature provides. I almost lost these to the cuke beetles in May and early June. (as I did all my cucurbits) Fortunately they recovered somewhat, many of them had to be re-seeded in June. Hopefully we can still get a crop, even if it comes late. The ones on the left are the 'Dixie Queen' melons on 'Shintosa Camelforce' roots. As you can see they look superior to the rest which were all about the same size when they went in. So far I like what I see in the grafted plants.
