From MyFolia

Took a gander at the garden over the last few days and noticed a very large mini honeydew, watermelon and cantaloupe. The Queensland Blue has set two pumpkins, one which is swelling at an almost alarming rate. I'm banking on the Country Garden to provide the pumpkins and my suburban planting was just an experiment. Regardless if I harvest only one I'll be ecstatic.

The fellow who gave me the mini honeydew seeds says that the fruit will be ripe when the skin turns slightly yellow and the fruit smells like "eat me now". Who knew that fruit could talk to you.

The lima beans are progressing well, as are the tomatoes. I've staggered the plantings enough that I'll have fresh ones until the fall frost. The straw bales are working out well for the Aunt Ruby's but they aren't receiving as much sun as the others so they are a little behind. Still a great idea for anyone short on space or having soil unsuitable for production.
