Parts Of A Plant, and How To Grow Watermelon

Today is Science class, and today we are learning about parts of a plant, and growing plants from seeds. Speaking of growing things from seeds, next month in Feb. for a 4H contest we are going to attempt to grow the largest watermelon. The winner wins some kind of a prize. So I thought we should start learning how to grow a watermelon. I do OK when I grow fruits and vegetables, and then poof something eats it. So pest control will be our biggest issue. Lucky for me I did a review for Ecosmart and have the gardening pest control to use.
