Are We Farmers Yet?

Two more cantaloupe this morning. These are
the Hale's Best Jumbo.
I also planted some Charentais Melon but the
first one that was ready had these little brown hard
shelled bugs on it and they ate right into it along with
ants. So, I am waiting on another one
to ripen. 
Okra in the cantaloupe/watermelon patch.
Watermelon
Okra - Clemson Spineless. It is real smooth
to the touch. We had a batch of 4 okra last
week. I made a pot of soup with it. Hopefully
this time I'll get more than that at one time.
Getting my fall pots ready - the coleus looks
pretty good despite the heat. I pinched
more tops to start this pot.
Happy Birthday to my sister today!

Baby Watermelon

The Evolution Salvia looked very pretty and purple this morning.

First daylily seeds from the Chosen Love
daylily. I am going to try and
grow new plants from these. From what
I've read you take the
seeds out of the pod when it splits open. Let
them dry for about 3 days.
Then after drying, put the seeds in a ziplock bag and
refrigerate for 6 weeks. So this is where I'm at
so far.
