Huggin' the Earth : Carrots and Melons

So we never made it to the Summer Garden yesterday. Homework and all. Anyway, Magun and I kicked around the Home Garden-actually, I dug some carrots while Magun showed me her skills on her Razor Scooter. We got a handful of odd carrots. It should be more, but I did not plant them correctly. I planted the seeds too deep to start and probably too late or too early. Next year, we will go with a good orange carrot and be happy. These were a Rainbow Blend and though Magun likes them, the Red ones are not very good. Also, we picked out first Hale's Best Melon yesterday. The size of the melon compared to the mini Sivan can be seen below. I must say though...to be able to walk in the kitchen and see a basket of okra, tomatoes, a bunch of carrots, some melons, and a basket of beans and cucumbers sure is nice....and to be able to send a basket full of fresh produce to others is even better.
