We’re back in Tucson now which is nice because it is so hot here! I worked on the yard all day today – mostly on the weeds that seem to never stop populating around the house. I also mowed the grass which is coming along quite nicely. We have a perennial bermuda and I will seed an annual rye in a few months so we’ll have grass throughout the winter as well.
I didn’t do much with the garden this year. I started growing a few watermellon plants at work and then earlier in the year transplanted them into the garden. For months nothing really happened and I just figured that I had planted them at a bad time and that it would yield no fruit. Then, what seemed out of no where, I found 5 good sized mellons growing a few weeks back. The photo below is from today. I have no idea how to tell when they are ready to eat.
