California Gardening: What's happening in your early fall garden?, 1 by DesertPirate

I thoroughly enjoyed your visit Julie. One more blank to fill in, that melon is a Sugar Baby watermelon. I don't know for sure if it'll produce a mature melon or not this late in the year, but it started in the Spring out in the community garden. It was neglected as it had to be hand watered and I don't have time to do that on a consistent basis. It was only a foot long after two and a half months so I transplanted it to the front island planter that is irrigated. The vine runner immediately shriveled and died. Within a month there was a new vine growing. As you can see it has a couple of babies on it now. What a surprise.

This is a shot of Julie modeling her waist strap that keeps her camera from bumping into things when she's gardening.
