Wet gardening experiment.

I enjoy experimenting with about anything I do, gardening being just one of those things.
A few years ago I started what I called "My Experimental Garden" to test old hay for herbicide. I got all my questionable tested and the past three years I have been using that bed as a wet growing area test. Last year I grew pumpkins in that bed and they did very well. The year before I grew watermelons. This year I tried cantaloupes and they have not worked too well because we have had a more rainy year and the cantaloupes are splitting. I plan to adjust my plant practices and plant okra, pole beans or peppers in the wetter areas..

I will try to show what I am faced with. and also show that you can get produce, but chose you plants wisely because mother nature will not straighten out your mistakes.

I harvester 17 cantaloupes this morning, many were starting to split because of too much rain.

The cantaloupe bed is the one next to the white work table.
