What Did You Do In The Garden?

(Note the ridiculously small melon hanging from the fan-shaped trellis).

This is what we found growing under the 3 poted tomato plants in the backyard. It's a volunteer out of the compost and that is common but I thought that I pulled all of those! Walking completely around the 3 plants there is not a single melon leaf to be seen. Somehow, the vine has enough light to start that fruit .

Foraging for the palette compost heap, I pruned three bags!

garden surprises!

How about the volunteer Porters tomato plant? Temperature was nearly freezing again this morning but, it's still there! Carried another bucket of water to it . This is in the first 25% readied for Winter. Another 25% is now tilled and ready.

A little more than that was added this morning but I’d really like to hit it again in about a week. Priorities.

what i did for my garden today was went through the worm buckets and added some food and more humus for them, there's a bit too much clay still in them and the worms just aren't very active like what i'm used to seeing.

i'm also thinking i may check out the sports/hunting store in town and see if they have any european/belgian night crawlers as those are excellent composting worms and i've had them before but i think one year i dumped too many out in the gardens and they never got going again in the worm buckets like they had been for many years. also i basically screwed up badly by changing the pH a few years ago too radically and that might have also done them in. some lessons i seem to want to learn the hard way...
