I picked 6 watermelons and a rouge cantaloupe today!
It was pretty comical to carry them in. Ice already got my own watermelon belly going on, so with one in each arm I felt like I was juggling three.
Its gorgeous and cool outside today so I also cleared a bunch of weeds that have been taking over the garden since... well since April I guess. We found our forgotten carrots long past being ready to harvest that were neglected during the heat of August. I want to try to plant some to "winter over" and see if they really do bounce back in the spring. Here are the 4 lbs we harvested today. We'll have glazed carrots with dinner tomorrow night and the rest will be made into baby food.
I didn't plant a fall garden this year. I had every intention, but... well, whatever. Hopefully there will be butternut squash in the upcoming bountiful basket others.
We have herbs, peppers, melons, carrots, and tomatoes for days right now. I'm kinda considering throwing some spinach and other short harvest goodies out there, optimistic of a late frost.
