Episode 67 – Melons – Sweet, Sprawling and Refreshing

Episode 67 – Melons – Sweet, Sprawling and RefreshingMelons are taking over The Beanstalk this week! 🍈 We're digging into cantaloupes, honeydews, muskmelons, and some of the specialty varieties that make growing your own so much fun. We'll talk about getting those vines through the summer, pollination, pests, figuring out when a melon is truly ripe, saving seeds, and why a vine-ripened melon can taste so different from one at the grocery store. We'll also put the harvest to work with a fresh Summer Melon and Cucumber Salad and dig into some surprisingly nerdy melon biology along the way. If you've ever wanted to grow sweeter, better melons right out of your own garden, come hang out with your fellow Beans! 🌱 Hosted on Acast.
