First Watermelon of the Season

Sunday night Steve and I picked from our garden, our first watermelon of the season.

We each took home half a melon but we’d better eat up quickly as our watermelons are doing really well this year so we should be picking another one very soon.

  2. Oh my, now THAT is a watermelon. I've been meaning to ask about your garden. Aside from the long beans, you haven't mentioned it as much as last summer. How is it doing?

    I don't comment much, but I've been reading since before you guys brought Maisie home, but I love your posts about your garden! We live in a condo and are looking for a home, and that is one of the things I am most excited for, growing my own garden. Enjoy your watermelon!
