For the spring planting anyway. I pretty much failed.
The first watermelon was picked too soon a couple weeks ago. Three more watermelons mysteriously dissapeared. (raccoons?) I have one left on the vine and will give it another few days or few hours. Not sure. It should be ready.
This was tragic and pretty much nailed the last of my motivation to zero. One of the children left the gate open and the horses got in. The corn was leveled along with most of the green beans. They trampled the squash, pumpkins and tomato.
I am thankful that while they walked and pooped among the melon patch, only one cantaloupe seems to have fallen victim.
So there you have it. I'm sure if you weighed my harvest and added it up, everything was about $30 a pound. But you cannot put a price on the education.
When it stops raining I will clear it all out and think about a fall garden. Peas, lettuce and spinach.
