This year our garden has two sections. One sections is just for watermelons. Well, I planted a few sunflowers for so the kids could watch them grow tall. The girls wanted to make scarecrows for each garden, but I don’t think the birds are scared. They mostly use it for a perch.

I have planted both Sugar Baby and Jubilee Watermelons. Here is a picture on a jubilee just getting started.

The sunflowers have grown taller than I expected. They are just beginning to start producing seeds.

The other section has peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, and onions.

This year I planted three types of tomatoes: Beefsteak, Big Boy, and Cherry tomatoes. This plant alone must have over 100 cherry tomatoes.

I have planted a hybrid sweetpepper and a hybrid Jalapeño. My sweet peppers are just getting started, but I have already begun picking the jalapeños.

I have already dug up over 50 pounds of potatoes. I have planted more and don’t expect them to be ready for another month or so.
