Garden Finds

Well, after donating the hungry worm (AKA: Hornworm) to science, Dawn and I decided to see what was actually in the garden. You see, I planted all this stuff, water occasionally, and then let it grow. Very seldom would I go in and pick veggies that were growing!

After untangling the watermelon and grape tomato plants, I was able to pick tomatoes and peppers and found another watermelon that was hiding underneath the Cuban Mojito mint plant. The other watermelon was growing outside the garden in the grass. It had split, probably due to heat, but it wasn't sweet anyway. There is another melon growing and we are thinking about picking it early to see if it might be sweeter.

I had built another shade for the garden and bought 40 retaining bricks to use for an additional wall. The hard part will be to re-route the watermelon vine that has seemed to take over the area! I think partial shade is key to growing in an arid place like Phoenix.

Well, enough for now as this is another LATE post!
