The recycling bin watermelon container is overflowing with branches and leaves but it has only had very few fruits and the few fruits that have made it from flower to stage one fruiting all shriveled and died until now. We finally have a small plum sized watermelon that seems to be strong and continues to grow. It's very exciting to see the melons move forward in there containers.
Cantaloupes...
The cantaloupes skin are starting to turn that beige color and have that rough texture. I'll post a picture tomorrow. I didn't have my phone with me as I gardened in Patch.
Hot Chili Peppers...
The pepper plant have tiny green chilies that are standing straight up. They are so cute. It's obvious that everything was dying for a few straight sunny days but sadly the rain is coming back. If we don't start to get sunny days more often and for stretches of time we'll loose the melons, peppers, and anything that required long hot days. I'm still hoping this summer will turn around.
