Posted in Black Diamond Melons with tags black diamond watermelons, crook neck squash, melons, pumpkins, squash, Watermelons on September 29, 2013 by ScottmanWell, I think the melons are done. Dad said he doesn’t want to sell them anymore for fear of the chance someone may get a bad one. At the end of the season it gets incredibly harder to tell when they are past ripe. They all thump about the same now.
We do however have some pumpkins and a few crook neck squash if anyone is interested in any of those. 🙂

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.
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.
