Just went out in the garden to check my new plantings. Seems that the Sun Jewel Melon seeds have sprouted in all 3 planting holes. Wow, that was fast. And I'll have to do some thinning, too. There are multiple seeds sprouting in each hole.
Still waiting on the Mexican Melon, and the Cantaelope. I have a feeling they are close behind.

All the Fun I Can Stand, on a Mid-90 August Day
Well, a couple or 3 hours on the end of a weed trimmer was just about all I could handle this morning. Big thunder heads are all around, so come on rain, fall and remove my temptation to go out to do more. Wait, let me go prune the roses, then it can rain.
Back inside, pruned the 7 roses in the garden. Hauled the Mimosa and Cumquat trimming up the burn pile in the front. After that's burned, I'll spread those ashes out in the garden. The rose prunings will just be mowed up and allowed to decompose back into the soils.
I try to waste nothing here. Its that sustainability thing, you know. Well, we're not all the way there, but I'd say we're in the 90% range of reduce, reuse, recycle. By this time next year, God willing, I think we might be around the range of producing 50% of our food. We are getting to the exciting point.
