First of all, If you are from my Homeowners Association, My front yard looks fine. I just have had a bout with allergies and am holding off on mowing the back until I get past that.
Above are some pictures I took today. I am starting to get some watermellons. As you can see in relation to the blades of grass, they are pretty small right now but I am still excited about the thought of fresh watermelons. I am going to keep my fingers crossed.
I had planted some additional green bean plants and harvested some today along with the squash. I am planning on cooking them in the same pan with garlic and onions. I think the beans will take a little more cooking so I will add the squash last.
Also, You can see that the tomato plants have gotten pretty big and there are starting to fruit also but nothing has turned red yet.
If I do plant again next year, I am going to plant everything that worked this year and try some new stuff also. I will also pay more attention to the spacing and location of plants. I will do the lettuce again but only in pots since that is where I am having the best luck. I tried transplanting some from the garden into pots yesterday and I am hoping that they will take.
There was a misquito biting me on my leg today and I swatted it. I know PETA got mad at President Obama for killing the fly but I hope they cut me some slack since the misquito bit me first. It was self defense so I hope they don't picket in front of my house. If they do maybe I can bribe them with fresh fruits and vegetables.
I won't tell them about the chicken that I am thawing out. It was already dead when I put it in the freezer but I don't think they will approve. I am going to use the large stainless steel skillet and cook the chicken on top of brown rice with spices, chopped onions, garlic, and whatever else I find in to throw in there. Maybe some carrots but I am not sure. I think I have told you enough about that so don't ask me any more questions.
Gday Mates!
