The Farm Report

It's too hot to blog. Our house gets up to 80 degrees right around 3PM until we go to bed because it's so hot and the a/c unit is too small to keep up. It runs all night and only gets down the 73 (I have it set way lower to try to "get ahead" but it doesn't work.) The only thing that seems to be thriving in the yard is the watermelon plant. Everything else is holding on for dear life, literally! Here is the "Before" picture, planted May 14th:

Now, here is what it looks like 2 months later. There is one watermelon the size of a tennis ball (toward the bottom, middle of picture) and 2 smaller ones the size of grapes (on same vine as larger one). Go watermelon, it's your birthday! We love watermelon and I can't wait to dive into these when they are ready. Oh, that is supposed to be mid-August...who can wait that long, so we've had watermelon via the store several times already. Still, I think these watermelons will taste even sweeter since we grew them. :)
