RE: Making Watermelon-Elderberry Moonshine (WINE) on the Homestead...Party in The Garden

That does sound absolutely delicious. I wish we could grow watermelon here - maybe next year with my new polytunnel when it is finished.

Sort:  

Wait, I am in Canada and grow a bunch outside all summer. Where are you located?

I'm in wet west Wales in the UK. There's high rainfall and low sunfall here. Not really melon weather alas but I am hopeful for my polytunnel (hoophouse).

We have had an abundance of rain, like rain every single day for like 2-3 weeks, and I have maybe 2-3 hours of sun on my watermelons and they are doing amazing. I have them growing in a bucket with a piece of lattice to grow up. I have the smaller watermelon's growing. I will do a post about growing watermelons, and the misconceptions. Thanks

Look forward to that article. We are just putting the cover on our new polytunnel today, so my hopes are high 😎

Looking forward to pic's, as I may do this in the fall to extend my growing season.Thanks
