Planting our watermelon seeds...
We used our faithful horse and our team to plant 3.5 hectares of watermelons. One hectare is about two American football fields, side by side. We plowed up lines 5 feet apart and then planted two seeds by hand each 6.5 feet apart at a depth of about 1 inch. Hard work, but wow, we are going to have a great harvest in 6 weeks!
