Question

   What crop is best planted prior season to yield quality watermelon crop?

   We want to plant several vegetables and flowers (plants) in a garden. We want all of our crops to turn out very good in flavor (quality etc...) For example: I'm very particular about watermelon and want to yield good crop. So, does anyone know a good combination or the science of pairing in soil? OR where do I search for the information? Thanks in advance if you know.


Answer
Without running soil tests, your best source of information will be your county agent.  He'll be familiar with your soil type and it's needs, and should be able to start you in the right direction.  If you can't find him, go to your local independent garden center, they can help you.  Jim
