I am dreaming of Spring this morning. We went from almost 70 degrees on Sunday to the teens the last couple of days. Everything is cold - inside and outside. I thought February was supposed to be above average temps!
Anyhow, I have never been successful at growing watermelon in Colorado. Only once did I get one watermelon and it was an anomaly. We moved houses and I brought my wooden barrels with us. They sat on the back patio in full sun and for some reason, I planted watermelon in one of them. The conditions were perfect. I am sure if I put black plastic down and started the seed early, I might get something, but I think I will just leave it to someone else and buy them at the farmer's market.
