At Turtle Dove Produce we have been growing, custom picking and bringing Organically grown Watermelons to the Farmers Markets for some years...
Would anyone at the Canal Market District want us to grow and bring more Watermelons??
Well...first we have to lay plastic by hand. Usually there is an applicator used for this that is attached to a tractor...Since we don't have an applicator, we put down our irrigation drip tube and plastic by hand.....
So we took some time lapse videos. Otherwise it takes about an hour to get one row of tubing and plastic ready for planting ...
It's a physical marathon and we plan on putting in six rows to plant hundreds of plants in about 650+ total feet of rows...
Enjoy the funny little videos and sure wish we could get it done that fast, hypothetically.....
