like sleep like death,

My silver Line Korean Melon vines are going gangbusters and I've harvested the 1st 2. The subject line says it all. Not awful, just "meh". Basically, a mediocre supermarket Honeydew with a texture somewhere between an apple and a carrot. Don't think I'll grow it again, though it grew so well;>!!!!!
However, it's encouraged me to grow melons next Summer. I've ordered already because I've experience waiting till January to order and find out the seeds have been discontinued.
Melons: Kajari, Hara Madhu, Petit Gris De Rennes and Tennessee Muskmelon. Oddly enough, the one I worry about growing is Tennessee. Even though it's a state heirloom variety, it's supposed to be difficult to figure out the right time to harvest. Doesn't slip, tendril doesn't shrivel, starts perfuming the patch pretty much a week or so after the blossom falls off. Oh, and apparently it's best slightly ripe;>!
I'll also be giving Ayote Green Fleshed Winter Squash another chance. Supposedly, it's good to start up to the 4th of July. I planted it the 1st. It hasn't bloomed yet so I'm not holding my breath for a Winter but I may be able to use it as a Summer Squash.
In A couple of weeks I'll start planting my Fall/Winter veg. Yesterday I started some Kohlrabi seeds indoors. The rest will wait till the nights get below 80F to plant in ground.
While my garden has always been a lifesaver for me, it esp has been this week. Last Wednesday morning my Partner of 30+ yrs Chuck Passed. He'd been in a nursing home for the last 3 yrs but I went and visited every Sunday. The Sunday before he Passed he had a wet cough and was pretty much unresponsive which is never a good sign so I wasn't surprised, just sad.
He had been a very active man so being bedridden drove him nuts so He's surely glad he's free of it.
Cheers,
Pat
