Two weeks ago I was out in my garden, per the usual. After inspecting everything, I moseyed on over to the watermelons to check out their growth. When the watermelons first started growing I had 10-15 little melons on the vines. Now I could only see 5or 6 big ones. I checked around the vines… Continue reading That Watermelon Is A Liar!

I feel like I have been talking a lot about zucchini. Well it's not going to end anytime soon I don't think as I have picked a total of 35 zucchini thus far this season. Unless my plants die.
