Harvesting the Last of the Garden

,

With a frost coming, it was time to harvest the last of the garden. My only other crops left were melons. One was a watermelon and one was a cantaloupe.

Oogie harvests a small melon from the garden.

The only one that reached a respectable size was the cantaloupe. It’s not ripe yet, but I harvested it anyway. Better gardeners than I have said this year was especially tough for heat-loving plants thanks to our cold, wet spring. So, the lack of fruit may not entirely be from my black thumb. I may try the experiment again next year.
