Oh wow. I just noticed something that I forgot about,( check out my may 2nd post) that seed that I snapped the entire tap root off got me my new PB. I know it was still a small melon ,but hear me out quick.....I grew 3 plants all in the same conditions. All were not happy with my soil. Or my lack of melon knowledge. The vines grew so slow and the weeds got so bad that at some points it was hard to tell if a melon plant was even there. Doh! Anyway... that seed that I thought (fore sure) I killed .ended up having the best roots of them all.
So call me crazy,but I might snap the seedling tap root next year at the 2 inch size to get multiple main tap roots going. Then I'll mulch for weeds and try to give them a soil that they like. Its probably a stupid idea..but...life is like a box of chocolates!
