Another good reason to get the garden beds finished soon, so I can plant our own watermelons there :)

I’m trying to grow watermelons this year...heirloom Moon & Stars. But the way things have been this spring I’ve got a better chance at a mud farm. No sun, way too much rain. Regional farmers are already talking big price increases unless things improve soon.

Guess I should have read the article before responding - they burst, not burst into flame. LOL!

80% of the garlic consumed in the USA comes from China.
Good luck.
