Arlene, waffles for dinner again sound great to me. I will be over for dinner again later!
When I first planted my tomatoes out the seedlings barely peaked out from the straw mulch. They all had little nests ha-ha. But they grew fast, yours will too.
I have melons I grew myself too, haven't planted them out yet as they are small seedlings.
You have gotten lots done. Hurray for veggies!
