I started some cantaloupe late in the season. Their at about 2-3 weeks, and theu are flowering. I just thinks it weird, mainly because there are no tassels, and the vines havent really started yet.
I live in missouri. But i did some research, not sure if its helping. But i let banana and orange peels sit in water. Some said it helps root growth, bug, and disease. The main thing that it has done is make it grow. Im at about 4-7 short vines on 26 of them. But i will definitely try the paint brush thing. Thank you.
