Hi, this is Norma from Pearson's Melon Farm. Today, Ken and his crew covered all the plants that the deer and rabbits have decided are good to eat. Covering these plants is a lot of hard work and time-consuming. I remember when I was a little girl, we had cantaloupe and watermelons growing in a big field at my grandparents', one particular night when it was going to frost or freeze, my parents grabbed the neighbor boys and we, my mom, dad, brother, and sister, all covered those plants, running from one plant to the other, covering with wax paper. We got it done and there was no damage done to any of the plants!
