We started a garden this past March and it's been doing really well, the weeds have also been doing really well, too, haha. Check out our journals for pics and stuff. My husband does all the work and I take all the pictures/prepare all the food.

Our watermelons have started to come in, and we noticed that on the side that the watermelon is facing the ground, it becomes soft and brownish. Is this normal. Kurt says it's probably a fungus and we may need fungaside (sp?) as there are mushrooms growing in the garden.

Anyway, it's been a real pleasure growing the garden. I loved the bell peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes the best!

Thanks for any comments,
Monica and Kurt
