It's a beauty!

Well, I've got to tell you, I can grow green beans and yellow squash, but cantaloupes leave something to be desired.  We only were able to pick two this year because the other three got overripe and ruined.  I felt really bad about that.  We just had five because of our limited space.  But, the good news is, Jeff picked this one yesterday and it is really tasty!  Not as wonderful as my father-in-law's for sure, but we were happy with it.  I'm going to try again next year!

Actually round!  The other was egg shaped.

Poor Little Pumpkin

I was watering yesterday in our backyard and was surprised to see a pumpkin growing in between the fence and the fence post!  Jeff wiggled it out, but we're not sure if it's going to make it!  It definitely has a few problems. 

Poor pumpkin!

We have two normal looking pumpkins too.  :-)  I know it's too early to grow pumpkins, but last year we had success and had them ripe by May.  I tried to grow some in the fall, but they didn't grow-it may have been too dry.  Anyway, I was a little late planting them this year, so I'm not sure if I will be picking them before Zane  is born, or if Jeff will!

We're also trying to grow some cantaloupe. 

We put a board under them to try to keep it out of the dirt and bugs.
