Biggest Garden Surprise
Growing watermelon in the North Woods. I planted the seeds directly in the soil mid May and picked some sweet eight pound melons by the first of September. Yummy. Now they are gone (sad sigh) .. but we're enjoying some cantaloupe and Tuscan melon.
That's wonderful! I hope to grow some melons next year. I'll probably start them indoors, early, however. I saved seed from a really wonderful melon from farmer's market.
What a sweet harvest treat! The earth keeps giving back of its goodness when we give back to the earth, doesn't it? Enjoy every sweet bite, I love all kinds of melons, yum!
I'm proud of you! We've never had any success growing melons of any kind. Not that we tried very often...to tell the truth. I'll bet they WERE delicious!

Happy harvest! :)
That melon looks yummy!
Not a one of us can picture summertime without thinking of watermelon! I got an awesome one the other day, Texas right now is prime time for them.
Have you ever wondered what they use to grow a seedless watermelon?
Things that make you go hmm.....
