Canaloupe Beats Out Cucumbers

Texas Gardener magazine has great information for anyone interested in gardening.  There are lists of recommended plants and the planting times for the various parts of the state.  Listed among the of options for San Antonio was cantaloupe.  After taking a quick poll (of Bryson and Ethan) cantaloupe beat cucumbers/squash 2 to 0.  These budget friendly cantaloupe seeds from Burpee were only $1.



The mulch was removed and half inch depressions made in the soil

 Bryson carefully placed a seed in each depression.  Later we'll thin out the plants that germinate.

The seeds were covered and gentlly watered in.

Bryson and I had a great day in the garden.  Helping Aunt Lori get her garden started, planting seeds, taking care of weeds and shooting his BB gun.  Hopefully in about 90 days we'll be enjoying delicious cantaloupe.
