Planting Crucifers

Over the weekend we pulled up the canteloupe and watermelon plants. We had thought the fruit was not setting but upon further investigation discovered that the dratted squirrel had been biting the baby fruit off and taking one bite - usually leaving two halves of perfect mini melons in the dirt. In the upper bed a week ago I had wondered where the unusual berries were coming from. Not thinking they were baby melons! We have planted crucifers: Purple and regular kale, 2 types of collards and callaloo.
