Cut my sugarbaby watermelon!!

Cut one of the two sugarbaby watermelons today! Was nervous that it wouldn't be ripe but it was perfect!

Watermelons ready today! Plus today's Harvest! 8/17/12

Finally decided to harvest my two sugar baby watermelons today! I hope they are ripe! They are a small watermelon type so they didn't get that big but are suppose to be delicious! I also got more hot peppers today, which I believe are habaneros.

Here's today's harvest:
2 sugar baby watermelons
6 Juliet tomatoes
1 heirloom tomato
1 pickle cucumber
23 hot peppers (habaneros?)

Just some photos of my garden. Watermelon after rain storm, cucumber plant, and chocolate mint flowering! The mint flowers are actually a very beautiful purple!

More Flowers and wet Watermelons

The cucumber plants I placed in containers on my deck are beginning to flower and they look great!

Also in my container garden are my sugar baby watermelon plants! So far I have two melons and even after a heavy rainfall they still look great!

Cucumber plants and watermelon growing strong!

The cucumber plants I started from seed the first week of July 2012, which I then transplanted into pots for my container garden are doing great! Below I have pics from the day I transplanted and today the last day of July. They even have some flowers on them!

As for the watermelons that surprised me last week they are still growing strong! Except they're two different colors which is interesting!

Another watermelon! 7/27/12

I just went outside to move around some of the container plants in case of bad weather this afternoon and came across another watermelon growing! It's not that big yet. I didn't have high hopes for growing watermelon but now I'm excited cant wait till they're ready to eat!!

A Wonderful Surprise!! 7/27/12

For the first time ever I'm growing watermelon, sugar baby watermelon to be exact! I'm growing them in a container on my deck and started them from seed. I've diligently watered the plants everyday when needed and was super happy to see blossoms on the plant a few weeks ago. As the vines began to elongate across the wood deck, I began questioning if I would get any watermelons...

Then today as I was walking on the deck I noticed something under one of the vines, the vine had moved during storms the night before. To my surprise there was a grapefruit size watermelon!! It made my day! I hadn't even seen this one growing and I've even been looking for it!

My Sugar Baby watermelon!

My sugar baby watermelon plant is taking off! It has plenty of flowers on it but so far most of the female ones (the ones that will produce the melon) have dried up. Although there is a new female flower and it looks like the melon part is a little bigger! It's cool it looks like a mini watermelon

First Flowers!!

Towards the end of June the vegetable plants began to flower! The summer squash (zucchini), the cucumber plants, watermelon, and most recently eggplant!
