Honeydews and Gardening

November 18, 2013 by sewmona Leave a Comment

So, I haven’t mentioned my honeydews in a while…it seems that they need water to grow.  Who knew?

I put plastic lids under the melons to keep the from rotting and to keep slugs away.

This one might recover. *fingers crossed*

This one is looking pretty dead.

This one looks great and of course it didn’t flower so there are no melons.
