Gardening Tips for Peas and Watermelon in Canada?
I live in Saskatchewan Canada, and this is my first garden.
I saw one flower on one of my pea plants yesterday, and I am wondering how long they will take to produce now that they have started flowering?
Also I have about 13 watermelon plants that have been doing ok, but a few of them are right next to others, how much space do I need inbetween plants?
Thanks for any help!!
From flower to pea pod takes a week or so.
Watermelon plants, like pumpkins, tend to sprawl. Ideally, you’d have a square metre, at least, per plant. Maybe you should take out some of your seedlings, so the other plants have room to grow. If you’re ruthless about pruning, clipping off the growing tip of the plants, so you have only a few flowers, you’ll get larger melons. If you don’t prune, you’ll get more smaller melons.
