Thank you so much for the information above. I'm really liking this gardening community. It has been really helpful. I hope to get my knowledge and experience up at some point so, I can answer questions(contribute) rather then just ask.
That said, I did have more questions.
What are good companion plants to plant with watermelon and melons? How about Broccoli ? Again I'm trying to avoid cabbage loopers on the broccoli. The watermelon and melon i've never grown but, plan to give them a shot this spring.
