Melons...




Lola has been asking to plant cantaloupe for a long time. I decided today would be the day, but the problem was we had no prepared garden bed space left. The melon seeds required 4' spacing and we have a tiny, tiny yard. But I didn't want to let her down so we made a new garden space today. It wasn't easy to dig out the grass, but it's worth it to see if we're successful. I hope it's not too late in the season, though...I wish we would have started a month or two ago.
We worked all day and got it done. We even threw in a couple of corn seeds (kernels) to see what would happen! Next week, we need to get some peas going and our sweet potatoes.
