Well, I planted a few hills of watermelon and cantaloupe in the empty spot. Just on the outside/far-right bed so that leaves an empty bed beside the melons with the grass area on the right side of them...I'm hoping they'll sprawl over those areas. The cucumbers ended up being planted over not quiet half of the hills of squash. I'll probably end pulling up two of the hills of squash when they come up. The reason that I did that is that I read that you don't want to plant cucumbers close to melons due to the cucumbers attracting cucumber beetles that will move on to the melons so I figured why tug on Superman's cape. :)

I think you're right about the tomatoes...they seem happier. Now if those bell peppers will start looking better. But, what I need right now is a nice rain....seems today we missed most of it.
