I'm new to the gardener's list, though I know a few of you from tomato list and chile list. (No rotten veggies please! ) I have scads of pepper plants and tomato plants but also a whole bed of melons, and corn and pumpkins as well as lots of basil and herbs and lettuce. The melons I've planted are sonora, a miniature watermelon and a charmelle<?> melon as well as cantaloupe. Anyone dealt with them? know that they taste like (except the watermelon). I also have a whole bed of cukes and am curious why certain plant's leaves are getting white or burnt and crumbly, when the rest of the plants are perfectly wonderful, even the same cultivars...from the same seed packet or six pack. I have 15-20 cucumbers in my 4x10 bed, but it's not crowding now as they are still young plantlets ;) My garden is at http://www.dancinghummingbird.com/joyw/garden699 will be posting pics of my veggie beds soon Bright Blessings Joy ---------- Be a Fundamentalist--make sure the Fun always comes before the mental.
