Should watermelons be under leaves or exposed to the sun?


Hi! I believe watermelons love the sun, i have always exposed mine to the sun, and not had a problem. Melons love sun, heat and room to run. Good-luck!! peppergirl please check out my website. Click on below.

In article , snipped-for-privacy@kans.com says... :) Depends on where you are. Some will be damaged by sun scald if they are not :) covered. My aunt said that they keep the weeds down until the melons :) started runners. Then they let them go and they caused shade on the melons. :) Others plant them in a corn field. :) :) Our field was behind the corn..thought it was to hide the melons from view of the road.
