These plants are far away from any water source and growing in the middle of a big field. It got very dry here for a bit and I decided to make the effort to add water. I took some five gallon buckets and drilled a hole and used a special fitting to mount a spaghetti line to. The spaghetti line goes right next to the stump of the melon and slowly trickles the water around the plant. I am starting to get these melons figured out and may have to give them a real shot next year in a location where they can get lots of love. I am pretty sure no one does less for their melon plants than me. For the first month of these plant's lives they were lucky if I checked on them once a week. After that first month I was encouraged by what I saw, so I have been paying a little better attention to them. They bring far less trouble than AG's in many respects.
