Much of our garden has turned into a jungle. Between all of our excessive rain and just getting busy with harvesting and the rest of life the weeds have taken over! Many plants are coming to an end or dwindling down now. Our second planting of green beans, black eye peas, and crowder peas are doing well. But what has me anxiously waiting the most is our watermelon and pumpkin.
Last year we only planted 4 mini pumpkins. It was a little late in the season and we knew we would not have time for large pumpkins.Those started growing wonderfully, but over night (literally) they were destroyed by stink bugs! I was disappointed. And we did not even plant any watermelon. I’m not a big fan of watermelon. I’m surprised I’ve not been kicked out of the south! But the rest of our family likes it. So since we had neither last year we are anxious about this year’s crop.
