I'm in the same boat.I have to keep my head bent down so it'll drip from the eyebrows....I can fill up a band in no time. I carry hand towels in my pocket and will go thru 2-3 a day....just tending to the animals, if I do work it is even worse....pants and shirt straight to the washer....
My head bands end up dripping wet. I, too, carry hand towels, to wipe the sweat from my face, neck, hands and arms.
Now, I tell ya....that'll keep the washer full, and clothes to do a bit more often.....they wouldn't even dry on a line outside, either....
That is the gospel truth!wouldn't even dry on a line outside, either....
I think I'll do a reverse hibernation - somebody wake me up in time for Thanksgiving, lol!
....she said that she got them as far as she could and it was up to me to get them in the house.....
......I haven't weighed them yet, but will and there were another couple melons to boot.....
....I wear a size 12D, so the foot is for perspective. The vines are dying and most have been split or busted into by vermin....7 is enough for this yr anyway....we had a couple when the Gboys were here. They are my favorite variety, Jubilee, but there are times I wish they wouldn't take so long to make, or be quite so big.....but, I sure love them. We'll probably be freezing most for slushes....
Clearly you need to work naked to save yourself all that laundry!
We are more the "icebox" melon types, those big ones would take up too much room in the refrigerator after being cut open. I've not grown watermelons. Tried last year but it was half hearted and the plants died. Lots of flowers on the cantaloupe I planted (store bought plant) this year. I did finally spot ONE melon growing, it is currently about 3"x6".
