AngelsGarden's Blog

I haven't done much in the garden or yard for the last 2+ weeks.  I was sick, then my heart got irritated with that, so I am just trying to get that under control now.  My outside activities have just been occasionally going out in the evening and harvesting what needed to be brought in.  The ones I am most excited about are the watermelon and the sweet potatoes. 

One evening I went out to check on the chickens and stopped to look at the watermelon.  The tendrils on the two that were left had brown streaks on them, the bottoms were more yellow and the garden snails were congreating under and around them.  I decided to bring them in.  My husband was out of town so we waited to open them until he came home.  The biggest one is the only one we have opened so far.  I turned out great, very sweet and delicious.  Pretty good for just planting seeds I saved from a melon that we bought off of the side of the road.
