Heirloom Plum Melons UPDATE!

Image
Heirloom Plum Melons I picked five more melons off of the vine today and I will keep them smelling up my house until I decide to collect seeds from them. One of the melons is the brown melon. Another melon is orange with brown, and the other three melons are orange and yellow and are the ripest melons of the year! Thank you for viewing!!!

Update on 5 Plum trees!

Image
5 Plum trees The plum trees are all doing well, except for one plum tree that hardly has any leaves anymore, as you can see in the third image below My largest plum tree that you can see in the 2 images below is doing very well. It is very tall and it's trunk is very thick. It has two main branches that are very tall: This plum tree below has very skinny and small roots. All of its leaves on top are gone too. It only has one green leaf left at the bottom. It might end up dying, but I'm going to try and revive it, so I'll do that by keeping it inside where it is warm: This plum tree below is very healthy with a couple branches growing: This plum tree below had spidermites, so it lost leaves and then grew smaller leaves when the spidermites were gone, so that is why it has smaller sized leaves. Its main stem is also bumpy and skinny looking too, but it is doing good: This plum tree below has multiple branches and is growing up tall and heal

Update on avocado trees and heirloom plum melons!

Image
3 Avocado Trees The avocado trees are receiving lots of sunlight because I take them outside in the sun during the day and give them more sunlight through the window when I take them inside.  The leaves of this avocado tree in the image below are healthy and have grown bigger since the last time I updated:  This avocado tree in the image below is staying short. Its leaves are green but they are turning brown on the ends, which can't be good. I'm planning to spray it with fungicide: This avocado tree below is growing a new set of leaves on top. It is doing well: Heirloom Plum Melons Next year, I am planning to grow the plum melons in springtime instead of summer time. I grew them too late in the summer and so they are still trying to grow when it is cold at night. The leaves are not very healthy too. Besides that fact, there are plum melons that are smelling of sweet fruity melon on the vine now! It is a strong pleasant smell:)  In the images bel

Update on one of the heirloom plum melons!

HEIRLOOM PLUM MELONS One of my heirloom plum melons wasn't connected to the vine anymore, so I decided to open it up and taste it. The skin was soft. The flesh was firm and sour, so it wasn't quite ripe to eat yet. I smelled the plum melon before opening it up and it smelled like  sweet melon. I counted the seeds in this plum melon and there was around 174, so I will have a lot of seeds to grow more plum melons next year, especially when I open up the other 20+ plum melons and collect seeds from them too:)  I have the seeds of this plum melon below drying out now: The stripes are a lighter orange instead of a strong red orange, which was probably why the flesh was still sour to eat: This is the melon cut in half: This is the melon with the white flesh scooped out and the seeds separated: Thank you for viewing!!!

Image
Heirloom Plum Melons There are 3 heirloom plum melons that have or are in the transition of turning yellow and orange, as you can see in the images below: This plum melon below has changed completely from green to orange and yellow: This melon below is in the transition of becoming yellow and orange:  The green stripes on this melon below are fading and it is becoming yellow and orange:  3 Avocado Trees I am bringing the avocado trees outside when it is sunny and warm during the day. I bring them inside when it gets cold. I then let them receive more sunlight through the window:  I replanted this avocado tree below in a larger pot because its root is long, thick, and big. Its leaves are getting bigger too and its stem is thick and healthy: DATE TREES I am bringing the date trees outside when it is sunny and warm. I then bring them inside and let them receive more sunlight through the window. Some of the date trees already have 4 leaves!:

3 Avocado Trees This avocado tree below is the newest addition to my avocado tree collection, and it is growing straight and tall. It already has a bunch of tiny leaves growing on top. I still need to pull out the toothpicks that are stuck tight in its seed: The leaves on this avocado tree below are green and healthy. They have grown a little bigger too: I replanted this avocado tree below in a new pot recently. It has tiny leaves on top that do not seem to be growing too well, but its large leaves are healthy and green: 12 CHERRY TREES The cherry trees are growing really well!!:) Because it is getting cold at night, I bring them inside, so they don't freeze, but I bring them in the sun during the day because it is warm during the day: HEIRLOOM PLUM MELONS The plum melons have grown bigger since the last time I updated, as you can see in the images below: The green stripes are not as strong on this plum melon below,
