Sept 26

The first picture says it all. We started picking watermelon this week. The picture is of two of them that were picked this last Wednesday. I picked another one for dinner today along with several cantaloupes and a couple of honeydews.

The tomatoes have not been watered for over thee weeks and it is starting to pay off. They are ripening at a fast pace now. We have at least another week of good weather, maybe two. This will make the difference for the melons and tomatoes.

We have started to pick the third planting of corn for supper. This Friday we will pick the remaining ears. No sign of ear worms. I have had some signs of raccoons.

The late planting of sugar snap peas are doing great. They are covered with blossoms.

The potatoes are just waiting for the vines to die down so we can dig them. Last year we did this in mid October and finished up on Halloween. I am still watering them.
