So Lee and McKinlee planted, they believed they planted, 4 tomato, 1 zucchini, 1 cucumber, 2 watermelon, 2 pepper and 1 basil plants, I almost forgot -- an entire pack of green bean seeds. As the summer as progressed so has the garden. The green beans, not so fruitful, we have many of tomatoes however all are green except this lonely one just starting to turn red…
The basil plant is over whelming of course they always are, hint hint -- if you need basil call me… the pepper plants well one died but the one that survived has 4 peppers growing as seen below…
My cucumber and zucchini, well those plants turned out to actually be yellow squash and I have two nice ones that we have offered up to Carla, I don’t like yellow squash that is why I don’t normally grow it but this is what happens when men do the planting in my house hold any how…
but alas the watermelon plants… well you see one died and the other is growing like crazy… I took these pictures on Saturday… see the baby watermelon, there is at least 20 like this on the vines…
However, Sunday Lee brought to my attention this beauty…
Yes this baby is about 1 foot long and 5 inches thick, how I missed this I'm not sure, but I did -- we are gonna have watermelon growing out our ears. Thank goodness the kids love it!
