Much better. I love the edit feature. Now if I could just completely erase some of my dumbest posts. LOL.
Each melon has roughly 288 square feet to fill in, It is a bit smaller than my usual 360 square feet, but if a plant collapses it can be removed so it's neighbor can fill that space. I will miss my normal layout with long skinny plants. It was easy to get access to the culls from each side. This year will be different. I will be going barefoot through my patch looking for culls. This will be a big jungle and completely closed in byn this months end. Hopefully I have some big melons by then that are taking up most of the plants energy.
