Watermelons in my urban garden
Watermelons in my urban garden
I have about 30 50 liter cloth (geotextil) pots that I have been using for a garden on a terrace in the middle of the city and this was my attempt at watermelons.
No idea why the photo is reversed, it is fine on my phone, but I guess lemmy is still young 🤷♂️
I just figured you were posting from Australia
Really cool urban gardening success here! Those look huge. I bet the neighbors are jealous
With the image reverse I have found that uploading it in a smaller size fixes that. Does the app let you choose “actual size” or smaller?
This is so cool. How often did you water them?
Pretty much every day. The sun is strong during the summer and temperatures are regularly 30-33-35C for weeks. The cloth pots loose a lot of water daily, even with a thick layer of mulch. They are convenient though as they are easy to move and stack during the winter.
Awesome! Clearly your practices worked out! Makes me wish I had a balcony like yours so I could try to follow in your footsteps.
Wow! This is super cool! What else have you grown there beside watermelon?
Tomatoes, peppers, zucchinis, cucumbers, melons, lots of stuff really.
