The 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.

Big-Sweet Squash
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!
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. 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…
The Squash isn’t look quite as good, needing rain more than the watermelons.
