On September 29, 2021, I picked the melon even though it was not yet the right time to harvest. The insect ate the melon branch and sucked its juice. I didn't expect this to happen with my first melon plant, so it gave me more gardening knowledge and what I should do next.
Starting small until it grew I actually watched it and observed. With each passing day, it grows 1 centimeter. It just grew so fast! Not just one fruit, lots of melon fruit but I focused on one so I could see the changes with each passing day.
September 28, 2021, this is the last day that the melon is still hanging on his tree. I could see nothing and I did not notice that there was a crack forming in its branch.
September 29, 2021, I saw that a long melon branch had dried up and I was worried about the fruit hanging on it. When I saw it, one of its fruits was indeed affected. So I was forced to pick it up and cut off the branch completely.
Nothing is Wasted
October 2, 2021, I sliced it to find out what it would look like inside. When I opened it, I estimated that it was only 1 week and it could be harvested and eaten. Nothing wasted. I sliced it and peeled and a lot of seeds inside the melon and the edge of the melon was quite orange. It just means it’s about to ripen.
The melon I eat has a little sweetness and it is crunchy when you bite it. I ate everything because I knew my kids didn't eat melon even my wife. But when you make this juice, they will drink and eat a little melon.
Planting a melon is a wonderful experience. Next time, I knew what I had to do. And the nice thing about my plants, they are all organic! All are natural!
