What the heck is happening to my watermelons?? It looks like I'm getting a lot of BER-like lesions & some splits on the skins. We've had about 5" of rain since Tuesday and another storm is hitting right now.
The melons are sitting a pine bark mulch bed but some are in the grass along the perimeter fence around the garden. Would this be part of the problem?? With all the rain & humidity there hasn't been much drying of the ground.
Added text: I was watering with a large diameter sprinkler off the drip system. Would the spray watering add to the problem??
Crimson Sweet & Congo before on 6/26..
