In the spirit of gardening, and of course a little bit of money saving, I decided to plant few vegetables this year. I had planted onions, carrots, radishes, lettuce, corn, watermelon, and pumpkin. I had a decent little crop of carrots out of it all. It filled up the veggie drawer for a week or two. the rest all died off, or just didn't get harvested. My ten rows of corn ended up withering and got taken with mold, and the pumpkin i picked was 3 in. across. it got attacked with thumb tacks by a little girl. I did get a couple of melons though, about 6 inches big. Haha, the girls like them, which is good, because I cant really eat them without an itchy mouth. It was a fun garden, although most of what I grew wasn't fruitful, But I did learn a couple of things. Corn takes more water than I want to give it, don't let melons hang on a metal fence, and pick the lettuce before it goes to seed, oh, and the radishes too. Pumpkins were a little fussy, and just when I thought they were gonna do great, the heat killed them. My backyard experiment did yield a couple of cucumbers, but they got taken shortly b the heat too. I haven't gotten into a good watering habit yet I guess, and even my little potted trees have struggled under my regime. Lessons learned; weeding is a yearlong process, water in the evenings or the mornings, and don't fertilize a newly repotted tree that was root pruned.
