Seedless melons? That is why I don’t eat watermelons as much as I love them because of the dang seeds. Hopefully in a short time Panama will be growing them too.

“Humidity is a problem here...And the noon time heat and I’m inside for a siesta.’

Humitity in Panma is always quite high. It is awful.

Since two days ago, we are getting the effects of hurricane Ana. Although it will pass over 1000 miles above us, it has been dropping a lot of rain in Panama as the clouds go over to meet the hurricane as far east to that storm as it is on its way out of the African coast.

We need these rains, and idiot Billie Gates wants to find a way to stop hurricanes. If there are no hurricanes, everything from at least Venezuela throughout Central America will become a desert.

Have a great rest.

You need to move to Panama where folks can cut your lawn at an affordable price. But then you would move into a condo anyway which would be much better…no lawn to cut.

I have nothing against Panama (except that I don't speak Spanish) but I LOVE to cut my lawn. Cutting my lawn is a reward I give myself for getting my other work done. I have professional quality, Zero turn mower with 2 cup holders. I slap my sound deadening, headphones on and ride for 4 hours straight until it is all done.

I hate it when my husband interrupts me, and I'm looking forward to doing just that when I get home from work today. I'm feeling good because I got a check from a customer today and have been able to pay some serious bills (although that was just a drop in the bucket against what I owe.) I'm going home to cut 6 acres, and don't ask me to do anything else. I'd hire those "affordable" people to vacuum my huse and do my weeding, but don't take my lawn mowing away from me. :)

BTW, seedless melons are terrific. The flesh is what I call “tight” or “dense”. IOW, they don’t fall apart when you cut them because there is no seed channel. Most of the time they are sweeter too. And I think the yield per melon of usable slices is better, which is why I don’t mind paying a little more for them. I hope you get them soon in Panama.

I wonder if they have the same propagation properties as regular watermelons? I was always told that you cannot grow watermelons in the same ground year after year. Can any of the southern gardeners tell me if that is true?

I apologise for being wa-ay OT, here. It’s just a “stream of consciousness” thing. ;)
