Dad planted 10 rows of Black Diamonds last weekend, so the season is officially on! He also expanded his canteloupe by planting 900 seeds in the first planting of those. Then he went out the next day and field mice decimated the planting. Ate nearly every seed in the row. He has declared war on the mice and set many traps out to battle the problem. That’s it for now!

End of July Update…
Posted in Uncategorized on July 31, 2012 by ScottmanWell it’s not looking good for the pumpkins and squash,some plants have started dying off. They need rain pretty badly. The watermelons are hanging in there so far. The good news is we finally got the worst of the weeds out of them and the vines seem to have stretched out. The deer damage has started to fall behind the growth of the watermelon vines, however , they still manage to bust open plenty of watermelons every night. Here are a few pics taken about two weekends ago…
Decimating Deer…

Posted in Uncategorized on June 23, 2011 by HolmesmelonsThey're looking really good right now. First plantings are vining out 6-8 inches long. Plants have truned a dark color and are large husky plants. I've gotten a little behind on planting Cantelope due to getting furniture and such moved before the flood waters get in town. If the river doesn't get them, they are looking good for now. Chris
