Harvest Time

This is the fruits of the labor.

The HONEYSHAW seeds given to me by a coworker have been the easiest melons to grow ever! They were like the magic bean seeds that just grew and grew. I picked several of the melons, and this is what they look like. A canary colored melon with an orange center. To be honest, they taste like cantaloupe. My kids and my wife liked it! Success

I brought this into work and cut it up, as you can...orange fruit. Kinda tastes like cantaloupe. 

Week 1 (kinda)

The peas are creeping up the trellis however we don’t have any pods yet, strange. 

After putting in the tomatoes 🍅 it got pretty cold and rainy for the last couple weeks. They definitely are not thriving, hopefully they make it. 

June 3rd we finally got around to planting the rest of the garden. We had to use a lantern because it was about 9:45 when we were putting in the last of the seeds. We put in corn, beans, cucumber 🥒, zucchini, summer squash, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and thanks to a coworker we tried something that I’ve never even heard of before. We tried honeyshaw. It’s a mix between a Crenshaw and a honey dew. I planted five mounds of the honeyshaw. Hopefully the melon gods smile down on us ☀️ 

The tomatoes and peppers are planted. All but one of the tomatoes we’re grown in a coworkers green house. Everything else was bought at the local Home Depot.

It’s hard to see from this picture, but the strawberries are growing like crazy in the upper left of the picture. I had to move a few of them because they were creeping too far into the garden. I think I killed them all. I’ll keep you posted to see if they survive.
