Hotter than normal here for this time of year, hopefully it breaks before the weekend.

Just because I didn't do the seed planting doesn't mean I wasn't working out in the garden. First of all I have to water my driveway farm of many pots ever day. I don't mind as the hose and water connection is right there on that side of the house. So not far to drag some hose length.

But I put three of those Golden Egg yellow squash seedlings in their big pot permanant homes today. I started them in a reused veggie six pack that I put new potting mix in. Couldn't believe how quickly they are growing. So they need to be in their pots and now they are. Started six seeds, five came up and I knew I had three pots to fill. So now I have two leftover but I don't think I am going to plant them as I was aiming for three.

I also planted four little Minnesota Midget melon seedlings out in the garden. I have this small section where I am trying to grow Avara melons. First two tries died after I planted them out. Now on the third try I seem to have 2-3 seedlings left. Frustrated, I started those Minnesota Midget seedlings. I had Minnesota Midget growing on this section last year so I know they do well. Hopefully those last few Avara seedlings grow also but if not at least I will have something growing there.

Next year I am putting the Avaras in a big pot and trying that. Maybe I will finially get some Avara fruit that way.
