Our garden is doing great, kicking out loads of fresh produce for us despite the spring hail storm we thought wiped it all out. We are enjoying okra, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, spaghetti squash, and the latest: honey dew melon. We’ve never planted these melons before. We will be planting them again. They are soooo yummy right out of the garden!
Beware, the picture below looks a little bit like St. Patrick’s Day just made a surprise late summer appearance.
If you look real closely, you’ll even see a green twist-tie hanging out on the table.
That’s how good I am at this blogging photography thing.

It is in the upper, right hand corner. I never would have noticed it if you hadn’t mentioned it:) The honeydew looks yummy!
Can I just say that one of the MANY things I love about your blog is that you do real, normal, not fancy-schmancy photography. Love it!!!
Upper right hand corner. :) I wouldn’t have noticed it either. ;)
I saw it. But if you didn’t say anything, probably wouldn’t have noticed. However, I am jealous of your homegrown honeydew. Never tried growing my own here in Rhode Island. Maybe one of these days.

I am jealous of your homegrown honeydew!! I looked locally for seeds this year. You would think that in SWFL where summer is nice & long and perfect for growing them, they would sell seeds?! Nope. I’m planning to order some for next year.
