New Conservation sign was put up and I did a little photo doctoring in photoshop to make a few changes to it. 🙂
Patch Update
Posted in Uncategorized with tags black diamond watermelons, cantaloupe, pumpkins, squash, Watermelons on July 27, 2013 by ScottmanThings are still looking good, but a rain could be used to send them on a growing spurt. Think Dad would like some of the rows to start growing together so we can make the call to stop hoeing them.
Watermelon update

Â
Watermelons are snapping back from getting too much water and looking good.
Â
Squash are vining out and looking healthy as well.
Â
Cantaloupe are looking good too. There are a few rows that got hit by the mice hard and some spots that the water stood too long, where Dad had to replant some by hand. Those rows are going to be a bit behind everything else. Other than that, everything seems to be soaking up the dry and sun well. – Scott
Things are coming up slowly
Posted in Uncategorized with tags crop, melon patch, melons, planting, squash, vines, Watermelons on June 9, 2013 by ScottmanThe Squash are probably the furthest ahead and about to set out vines. Watermelons are a bit behind after the struggles with mice eating seed and replantings. 
The Squash are about to vine!

Planted Watermelons last weekend!
Posted in Uncategorized with tags black diamonds, canteloupe, planting, watermelon patch, Watermelons on May 16, 2013 by ScottmanDad 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!Â
Merry Christmas from the Holmes Family to yours!

Just some past Christmas adventures of the Holmes Family and our pets!
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. Â 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. Â Here are a few pics taken about two weekends ago…
The Squash isn’t look quite as good, needing rain more than the watermelons.
Decimating Deer…
Posted in Uncategorized on July 9, 2012 by ScottmanThe Deer have increased their tastes for our watermelon plants this year is seems!
Deer are being hard on our melon plants, chewing off the vines.
