I love watermelon but our soil isn't sandy enough to grow good ones. We have a small town near here and their claim to fame is that they're the "Watermelon Capital of the world"!!! They do grow good melons!!!

Gayle, my husband would eat the radishes but I mostly grew them to have something ready early. Towards the end of the summer we would have meals totally made from the garden and would skip the meat. Yumm!!! It always bugged the kids that we didn't have any meat!!!

Gayle, I have told so many people about your garden! A lot of people want to grown their own veggies, but for whatever reason don't have room, god soil, and so on. I love your garden and it looks great with things growing.

I may go to a get together somewhere close by where they're going to do a workshop on how to begin a veggie garden. I could start one on my deck.
The thing is, I really do not want the bugs and the big birds.

You really should follow the square foot gardening technique. http://www.squarefootgardening.com/ I've had a big garden and this technique is so much easier. If you only make your garden 4 foot wide and then however long you want, you never have to walk in it and you can reach everything. It is so cool - his techniques make so much sense! You could even have a square foot garden on your deck!!!

We have 4 strawberries that are pinkish/red!!! I can't believe it!!!!! We got some garden netting to go over them so the birds won't eat them before we do! LOL!
