Gardening and Such

Jeff has really enjoyed having the property at the house. Several months ago we planted sunflower seeds, watermelons, and pumpkins. They have all taken off and we have been pleased with the results! We picked a watermelon for July 4th, but when I cut into it, it didn't have a hint of red to it. At least we were able to toss it into the composter!We'll wait a few more weeks until we try another one. The kids and I head to North Carolina tomorrow and we are looking forward to seeing our family and friends.
 This gives you an idea of how tall the sunflowers are...
 Zinnias and bees!
