Watermelon

I just harvested a 14 pound Charleston Gray watermelon.  I noticed that the tendrils near the melon started drying and browning.  We have had two consecutive days of sun, so I decided to harvest it before the rain came and diluted the sugars.  On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 7.

Asiminas Attaining Altitude



The pawpaws have put on some impressive growth this summer.  The taller pawpaws have grown about 3 feet and are at least 8 feet tall.  Regular watering and fertilization has help them greatly.
