Pesto Thyme!

We have 4 more cantaloupes on the trellises. We lost a few while traveling and some we didn’t see in the vines. The hail also wiped out our first seedlings, which put us behind. But overall they’ve been a decent producer, and we’ll take quality over quantity any day.
The watermelons on the other hand, another bust. We’ve tried Crimson Sweet, Sweet Scarlet Hybrid, and this year, Jubilee. We had one that was looking good, but succumbed to blossom end rot. Any ideas y’all?

After two seasons with no luck, we finally found our cantaloupe variety. We picked 2 too early, but here is our second beauty. Mmm Mmm.

For years “Clemsoning” was associated with epic failure, but that all changed last year. One thing that hasn’t is the way this variety of okra loves the Texas sun, and we just spotted our first little baby. Fried okra in a few weeks. Yum! Yum!

Started these Jalapeño and Cayenne peppers from seed early July and they were slow to take off after we transplanted them in early August. But first frost isn’t expected until mid November, so they’ve got time to get fired up.
