So, I hate to say it but our garden was pretty neglected in 2011. We tried the black plastic thing, but we just couldn't get anything to grow! It wasn't very far into the summer when I got too busy with work and just gave up on it. So, imagine my surprise when in September, I went out to go pull the weeds out and found A WATERMELON PATCH just growing three decent watermelons! I remember walking into the house and bringing a doubting Jason outside and seeing the look on his face when he saw them! He was shocked! We've never been able to get a watermelon to grow, and then the one time we give up on a garden and we get THREE!
Our lettuce sprouts. These came up all over the grass, all because I accidentally
let my lettuce go to seed one year!
The largest of the watermelons!
SO excited to cut it open!
We noticed it was weeping after we cut it open! We've never had a watermelon do this, but we've never had such a fresh watermelon!
The watermelon probably should have had a few more days on the vine in the end, but it was fun to see something THAT BIG come out of our garden!
