Q.Planting in a Gravel Area
I have a large area in my yard that is covered with gravel. I filled my garden spot and still have plants left to be put into the ground. I’m wondering if I can clear some spots in the gravel to plant watermelons, butternut squash, and acorn squash. Would the gravel make the plants too hot?
