I have those Congo seeds from the seed club, and wondering if there is room to try them in this garden. If they could be trellised I could, but I fear the fruits are too large.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-89749660000782355892012-01-18T23:02:38.680-05:002012-01-18T23:02:38.680-05:00Lynns, Thanks, I'm sure it will!

I will post the detailed plans on Friday. <br /><br />Prairie Cat, Thanks for your input. I think that I may grow the Sugar Baby and one of the larger varieties.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-89077130082356789152012-01-18T21:31:11.144-05:002012-01-18T21:31:11.144-05:00I grew Sugar Babies last year, and I loved them! T...I grew Sugar Babies last year, and I loved them! They are small compared to others... on average, mine were a little larger than a softball. The flavor was excellent, though, and the production was great. Plus, it is fun to have your own personal watermelon to eat.<br /><br />This year, I will be growing them again, but will also be planting a larger variety.Prairie Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036436697268048651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-20211739153424798142012-01-18T19:29:46.969-05:002012-01-18T19:29:46.969-05:00We've never grown these varieties. Last year I...We've never grown these varieties. Last year I think our watermelon was a variety very similar to Crimson sweet though. Congo and Crimson sweet will grow to be huge! Because you said your space is limited, I recommend Sugar Baby. I read that you can trellis that variety, and I saw that you have several un-designated trellises in that amazing plot graphic you created. By the way, what's going on with that graphic? Are you and "the Italian" architects or something?!Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442310215979259623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-82520656464658028102012-01-18T13:03:07.067-05:002012-01-18T13:03:07.067-05:00I'm trying to work on my planning too.

I still haven't been able to use the "reply" option they put in there. When I click on it, my screen goes almost all white and I have to shut it down to get out of there.
