We have about 14 watermelons still growing on the vine and we have been enjoying eating them as well. I think we will save the seeds from this years crop too. They grow well and produce finished fruit in 85-95 days.
We have a
variety of peppers we are harvesting daily.
The one cucumber plant is still producing
cukes. We just planted six new plants as seeds.
Now that we have trimmed back the foliage we are seeing the tomatoes turning color.
The summer strawberries are coming in. We do not get as many as the spring produces but it's a nice treat to have them in July.
The Three buddies growing in stockings. (That just sounds weird) It's actually two now as I cut one off this morning. I didn't let it grow to 18lbs like the first one. It still came in at 12lbs. I was thinking how many pies will all these
Tennessee Sweet Potatoes make and how many pies can I eat a day?

They are selling Missouri muskmelons in our grocery stores and I can see now why. You are way ahead of us as seasons go. Those are beautiful specimens for watermelons. All of our plants are producing well.
I love all the goodness that is in your garden. I've always wanted to grow watermelons, but we simply do not have the space for them. Plus I've heard that they need lots of heat to turn into great watermelons? Unfortunately for us it is too cool of a climate so I can only dream!
