The question that naturally arises is: why mini melons in the first place? If melons, then the really meaty ones that are so versatile. Very, delicious!😋
This broccoli seems to have made a mistake at some stage in its growth process. For what it is proudly displaying here looks like the second stage of the harvest, in which small fruiting flowers are developing on almost all of its stems. Either way, it will never get a forceful head again. 😉
My motto is the same every year: next year there will be fewer tomatoes for sure! But when last year's seeds start to develop into plants in the spring, I don't have the heart to just throw them away. 😮
PS: Maybe the cantaloupe melons will grow out better next year if they are blasted with the right music?😊

Probably a botany project... if someone can breed a plant differently they will just so they can name it.
Just like with bush cherries, they exist but are not as good as the full sized variety. Seems most minis are mostly seed/rine.
Yeah we messed up on planting the broclli too late in the spring.. so it just did nothing until fall but now it seems to be waking up.
haha maybe.. but just giving them the right amount of water and keeping those aphids at bay should help too.
As far as aphids are concerned, I have had good experience of planting lavender and nasturtium between the plants. In addition, I always have a barrel of rain water to which I add leaves of stinging nettle and comfrey. The cabbages are then sprayed with this 'liquid manure'. But be careful — don't get the slurry too 'hot'.
