Best wishes for bountiful health in the bodies and in the gardens for all our FReeps. Nice sunny day in North TX-— can walk around midday with out getting the scorch. Tomatoes making a little rebound but smaller fruits. Got one small volunteer watermelon growing out of a 10 gal bucket. Vines everywhere but only one melon. In other small containers growing seedlings then harvesting them as sprouts for the green smoothies or salads.

We’ve had a “wild” watermelon in our community garden and it’s been producing but someone gets the melons. What they leave behind looks like the melon was pretty good. The cukes, squash and cabbage are doing very well, as are the garlic plants. There is one garden where the volunteer small tomatoes are growing everywhere, into someone elses garden and his black eyed peas are as tall as we’ve ever seen. He said they are hybrids.

I’m doing another “keyhole” garden but this one will be 20 feet long and about 3 feet wide. I’m using the same basic steps as we did with the round keyhole garden. We’ll see if works as well a n d maybe better.
