I hate my watermelon tree! Seems like you know just before I decide to pick one you know it falls from the tree and bursts open on the ground you know. I know they are free but you know ...

My gawd, trying to follow that woman in the video made my head hurt and I've had to make more coffee to clear the cobwebs that grew in the vacuum between my ears after listening to that little rant. Wow.

Anyhoo ... I think I have an eggplant problem. I only planted 2 plants -- not two packs of plants or two envelopes of seed, just 2 plants! Ten, fifteen, twenty eggplants a day. My friends won't come to the house anymore and I've resorted to trying to throw eggplants into vehicles as they speed past. Seriously, these BUSHES -- I can't even refer to these things as simply plants -- are going on 5 feet tall and they are even wider than they are tall. They have taken over the rows on either side of them. Large purple fruits everywhere and they are still stacking on the blooms.

Reminds me of that out-of-control plant in Little Shop of Horrors. If you don't hear from me again, you'll know ...

Checking to say that I got my first okra today...21 pods! Because of so much rain earlier, I was a bit late in planting it, so I am good to go now...served w/some Silver Queen corn...Oh, MY!!

W/the zuhcinii out of production, I also picked the 1st my late planted yellow straight neck squash, a bucket full of tomatoes, 6 sweet green peppers....and some cucumbers. My provervbial cup, refrigerator, and kitchen counter runneth over. LOL

(The heat, though, is cooling my gardening efforts since there's more need to draw the hose around to water everything.)

One small bit of advice to you on your watermelon trees ... remember to look up whenever you’re standing underneath one. You don’t want this to happen to you:
