I have about 30 50 liter cloth (geotextil) pots that I have been using for a garden on a terrace in the middle of the city and this was my attempt at watermelons.

No idea why the photo is reversed, it is fine on my phone, but I guess lemmy is still young 🤷‍♂️

I just figured you were posting from Australia

Really cool urban gardening success here! Those look huge. I bet the neighbors are jealous
With the image reverse I have found that uploading it in a smaller size fixes that. Does the app let you choose “actual size” or smaller?

This is so cool. How often did you water them?
moridinbg@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
Pretty much every day. The sun is strong during the summer and temperatures are regularly 30-33-35C for weeks. The cloth pots loose a lot of water daily, even with a thick layer of mulch. They are convenient though as they are easy to move and stack during the winter.

Awesome! Clearly your practices worked out! Makes me wish I had a balcony like yours so I could try to follow in your footsteps.

Wow! This is super cool! What else have you grown there beside watermelon?

Tomatoes, peppers, zucchinis, cucumbers, melons, lots of stuff really.
