Garden in June






We are having fun watching our garden grow and have enjoyed the greens as they have become available. We are still watching and hoping for some of the vegetables to produce well, but overall we are abundantly pleased with the results of our garden experiment so far.

We are attempting to train our melons and squash up a trellis and they are doing nicely. I stuck this watermelon into the wire while I thought of the 'perfect' way to support it from above. I kid you not, 3 days later we had to use wire cutters to remove it.

Today it is suspended in a kind of pantyhose hammock but it's not the 'perfect' permanent solution. Any suggestions? Quick, we are going on vacation and I need to teach a teenager how to tend these while we're gone.
