No Great Pumpkin Here, Charlie Brown

Eek!  It's already October and not a single fruit on my pumpkin vine.  We might have to resort to carving watermelon instead -- those we have in abundance!  How many can you spot in this picture?  (Yes, this is like those kooky puzzles you did in Highlights magazine when you were a kid!)

Unseasonably Large

We've had a heat spell which has resulted in our watermelon and volunteer cantaloupe fruiting again. I'm taking bets on whether the baby watermelon at the left can grow to be as big as the 45 pounder Rob is holding.

We get A LOT of comments from the neighbors on the watermelon and we've been sharing as much as possible. Still, trying to unload over 120 pounds of watermelon is a bit of a chore, and I've eaten more than I care to think about...

Wow! 40 Pounds!!!

Oh, plant a watermelon at the bottom of my grave...
