gardening

corn silk
Found these bugs on corn today. Small knat sized bugs. Hose off and will hope for the best.
One raspberry
This looks great, I'm going to put a bag on my peaches so the birds don't peck them.
The flowers on my watermelon plant are beautiful. I love seeing it grow each day.
Perpective from an ant, reminds me of the movie, "Honey, I shrunk the kids."
The flowers then turn into baby Sugar Babies. Sugar Babies are supposed to produce a lot in a smaller plot than traditional watermelons. We'll see!
This guy is a round squash. Since I have different breeds of squash they will all pollinate each other. The result will be regular squash but the seeds will a cross breed. With my winter squash I'll tape and hand pollinate to prevent cross breeding.
