This is good melon country, and we probably won't have as much room as we have now forever, so I'm planting several varieties of melons.
On Saturday, the 17th, I paired 4 heirloom tomatoes with a Big Beef in pots, so I could try grafting in a disease-resistant rootstock again. The "Gary O Sena" I did not do a wonderful job on. The plant is already getting woody. I Improved a little with "Black Krim". The smaller plants were a little easier: Cherokee Purple and Brandywine (just purchased). I've decided that rubber bands to hold the grafts together, plus tape (just as for tree grafts) are the way to go. We'll have to see if any of the grafts "take". At least the plants are still alive.
