I'm trying to grow watermelon and cucumbers in my yard. I'm having to water them for about 10 to 15 minutes by hose each day to give them a chance. I just planted the cucumbers. The watermelon's I don't think have a shot to get ripe enough without a whole lot of water, but I did well enough last year with cucumbers. (probably had about 20 plus pounds last year) First watermelon I had this year was not ripe enough when I picked it. I don't think it had enough water. I have 4 others growing now.

We hate to have to run the sprinklers in the yard but unfortunately we have had to quite a bit lately. Rain usually likes to miss us. When the grass dies the beds of mulch simply get bigger, but then it gets down to the plants and trees need a drink.
