Excerpt: ...separate readily from the melon under slight pressure to one side. Maturity is usually indicated by a slight exudation of juice around the base of the stem. If gathered too early, they wilt and toughen before mellowing. If allowed to ripen on the vine, they lose in flavor. Cantaloupes bear the male and female organs of reproduction in different flowers, and cross readily if different varieties are planted near each other and hybridize with other species of the melon family. This is especially true of the cucumber. In 1880, I planted four rows with seed of a supposed new and superior variety bought for distribution by the Georgia State Department of Agriculture. These were planted in a two-acre patch of my selected seed. Some vines produced cucumbers, but a large majority were true hybrids and no more fit to be eaten than green gourds. Of course, no seed could be The Best Varieties of Cantaloupes 103 saved from melons grown in that patch. They do not hybridize so readily with the watermelon, but I have seen true hybrids--the melons twice the size of the cantaloupe, partially netted and abnormally large, and the flesh tinged with red, sweet, but without the true cantaloupe flavor. They should not be planted nearer than three hundred yards to other species. Of the green-flesh netted varieties, the Jenny Lind is the earliest. While it is small, the flavor is best and the vines prolific. In form, it is round but flattened at both stem and calyx. It should be gathered while the outside is still green, to secure best flavor. Some of these should be planted as first early. Netted Gem, now generally. known as Rocky Ford, is one of the oldest varieties. This is a small oblong melon, thoroughly netted and of good flavor. This ripens next to Jenny...

Download or read book Southern Gardening All Year Long written by Gary R. Bachman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Gardening All Year Long approaches southern landscapes from a different perspective. Instead of encyclopedic lists and articles focused on botanical gardens or someone else’s landscape, author and host of Southern Gardening Gary R. Bachman connects with his audience through personal stories that share his expertise gained over decades of planting, all told in an easily digestible format. Most stories in Southern Gardening All Year Long focus on Bachman’s hands-on experience with gardening. He recounts tales about his own personal gardens—plants that have thrived and failed—and presents his advice in a common-sense style. Bachman's personal, conversational writing makes Southern Gardening All Year Long an old-fashioned, over-the-fence chat with a knowledgeable and helpful neighbor. Just as he has done in newspapers, and on television and radio, with Southern Gardening All Year Long, Bachman hopes to help gardeners be successful in their own landscapes, alleviate some of the apprehension new gardeners feel, and inspire experienced gardeners to try new plants instead of the same old plantings every year. Gardening success doesn’t always follow steps 1-2-3, but Bachman encourages readers not to worry about plants that don’t survive. Failures happen in gardens every season. Offering a variety of tips and tricks and over 170 color images, Southern Gardening All Year Long will become a gardener’s best friend.

Download or read book Maverick Gardeners written by Felder Rushing and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Be forewarned that this book honors people like the woman in my hometown who paints the numbers of her favorite NASCAR drivers on her elephant ears, and a Tokyo gardener with over a hundred bonsai plants.” So says renowned garden journalist Felder Rushing in his new book Maverick Gardeners: Dr. Dirt and Other Determined Independent Gardeners. In this book, Felder delves deeply into the psychology of what motivates and sustains the Keepers of the Garden Flame. For thousands of years, a loosely connected web of unique, nontraditional gardeners has bonded people across race, culture, language, and other social conventions through sharing unique plants and stories. Found in nearly every neighborhood worldwide, these “determined independent gardeners” (DIGrs) are typically nonjoiners who garden simply and exuberantly, eschewing customary horticultural standards in their amateur pursuits of personal bliss. Included in Maverick Gardeners are classic “passalong plant” lists, a dollop of how-to, numerous color photographs, and thought-provoking essays on quintessential tools, sharing with others, getting away with wildflowers in suburbia, and organizing a plant swap. The centerpiece of this unique gardening journey is the no-holds-barred story of a ten-year cross-cultural collaboration between the horticulturist author and a flamboyant rebellious gardener who called himself Dirt. Through swapping plants and garden lore—and rubbing shoulders with fellow DIGrs—they unraveled their shared humanity. From the practical to the inspiring, Maverick Gardeners is the perfect book for those nonconformist souls who see no sense in trying to fit in and follow the footpaths of others.
