🍉 Seedless watermelons won’t form fruit without this trick...
Today we’re in the field showing exactly how we plant pollinator watermelons alongside our seedless varieties so they can actually form fruit. It’s a key detail in seedless watermelon production that is often not understood but is absolutely necessary - it will make or break the crop.
Then we shift to tomato season prep, pounding in stakes and running the Florida Weave trellis system to support hundreds of tomato plants. Step-by-step, we show you how we keep things fast, simple, and strong.
But halfway through, I share a mistake I made when planting our early sweet corn. It’s not the total crop, but losing this first planting could hit our farm hard—it’s a painful lesson worth sharing.
