Last year we had one the the granddaughter had started at school. But it didn't do well. I need to go get another picture of the pumpkin in this post, it's getting huge. 20 tonnes of pumpkin!!! Wow. No I don't think they'll miss two. :)<br /><br />Maggie May - Thanks!

My compost often has some kind of melon growing out the edges where it hasn't gotten hot enough to decompose.<br /><br />R&C - We seem to be having just about enough rain. I watered the other day and I shouldn't have.

I haven't been back down there to see if more produced yet. Maybe I will tonight. Your flowers look really nice too.poefusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157059633840032305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109127725666154277.post-65398467572868441982009-07-26T22:01:37.920-05:002009-07-26T22:01:37.920-05:00Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment.

The plant looked nice but never produced. The leaves on it didn't get near as large as these, either. Melon and squash plants are usually pretty easy to get growing. Let me know how your watermelon does.Moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10620199622292684334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109127725666154277.post-86619683943757589282009-07-26T21:32:45.905-05:002009-07-26T21:32:45.905-05:00Hey, what a great tour of the homestead!

My son spit some seeds from a watermelon into the front flower bed (much to my husband's dismay) and they are growing! I'm not sure if watermelons will appear or not but we are trying!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.com
