Melon Monday...maybe?

Hopefully we might get a break in the clouds and rain to push some watermelon seeds in the ground this afternoon. We are "sharing seeds" and efforts with the Cheek Family to hopefully grow some prize winning melons for the State Fair in the fall.

Depending on the weather, below is also what we will be working on through the week. If you happen to stop by on your own, weeding is always welcomed!

Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you all soon in the garden!

It WILL be good!
