Next to the back fence of our 1.25 acre house block, on a north-facing hill. The spot was covered with blackberries last year, so I’m expecting some battles to come! There’s a block of corn in the middle of them too, which seems to be pretty slow in germinating.
I’m experimenting with a couple of different options with my melons – planting them close in order to train the vines up over the fence, and planting on mounds to give them a bit more room. At the moment, they’re surrounded by grass and weeds. Not very pretty! I’d love a hedge of Chilean Guava around the whole patch, but we’ll see how we go!
Containing 11 plants, mezfank's Melon Patch garden is an outdoor garden located in Drouin, Australia and is grown using organic principles.
