Those pesky animals seem to get something different every year. This year they ate all my cantaloupe. I believe my problem was gophers though. There is some stuff you can buy that you sprinkle around your garden, not in your garden or on your plants just around it, that the animals do not like and tends to keep them away, until it rains anyway. The rain must wash it away of something. I have also heard that if you grow peppers you can chop them up and dry them and put them around your plants the animals are eating. I never tried it but it makes perfect sense. I grow peppers and I have never had any animal touch them. The outside growing season is over for me this year. Good luck to you next year.

They might be smaller than what people consider standard but the taste is huge compared to the "standard" as well.. Enjoy :) Jenelle It's great to see people starting to grow their own organic vegetables and talking about it, well done.

Luckily, this has only happened once or twice. Most are reddish-pink. Yes, I've had some yellowish-white watermelons too. Luckily, this has only happened once or twice. Most are reddish-pink.

I got a little baby watermelon (maybe even smaller than yours), too. Mine turned out to be yellow inside. Hmn. Perhaps small watermelons are the hallmark of CSAs…..

I hope the hair trick works too. I am totally new to growing food, so it will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks for the kind comments, Kristen. I hope the hair trick works too.
