But the plants look pathetic, and we only got 3 off of this one plant. The watermelons looked fine for awhile (well, the melons looked fine, the vines also looked pretty sad) but in the last week most of them have split and we had to give them to the chickens....sigh.
Steve and I have started a new undertaking towards sustainable living....'renting' land in exchange for veggies. Our home garden is simply not big enuf to support our family of 6 very hungry people and with several trees in the yard to help us get thru the 'hell' we call summer in the Central Valley of California we can only cultivate so much of our city lot ...is a town of 10,000 officially a city?
Follow us on our adventures in gardening in our lovely neighbor Joyce's yard. Our desire is to become strangers to the checkout gals at the grocery store.

You're ahead of my garden. My watermelons ripened 1st. The cantaloupes are a few weeks away.
