Rockmelon?

It was hosting a massive number of portugese millipedes underneath, who I'm sure were eyeing it up for dinner.  Well I'm working right now on how to trap the little beasties, meantime I've lifted the melon up off the soil.

6 March. Other growings.

Two this size!

One mystery fruit

Heaps of ripening peppers

Also...heaps of beans growing, beetroot still doing well. Bok Choy being eaten by caterpillars. Iceberg ok but being swamped by pumpkin. Celery coming along.
Herb garden growing well.



And this... Ok not garden but still pretty. Don't know why it's volcanoesque though.

Cucurbits 22 Feb

Pumpkins... 4 now. This one is 23cm diameter.


Zucchinis still fruiting well.

Cucumbers, can't beleive how many on one plant! Have got 5 last week, there are another couple nearly ready and lots of babies. Am going to have to get creative to use them.

And, um whatever this is. I thought it was a cucumber until it started fruiting at which point I was baffled but now I'm thinking maybe a rockmelon?

Cucurbits Feb 2010

Zucchini
I planted 3 zucchini because I bought a punnet. They are ridiculously large and taking up a full 1/4 of the garden.
They are overcrowded and hard to find fruit and often we end up with Marrows that in turn stunt the growth of other fruit on the plant.

Pumpkin
1 pumpkin self seeded right at the edge of the garden. I've loaded it up with cow poo and straw etc and it's already got 3 baby pumpkins on it. Yay!!

Cucumber
I planted 3 cucumber.  Damn snails ate 2 of them on the first night!  The last one has been slow to get going. I put a stake with it but it hasn't climbed it.  I need to work out what they climb.  A cucumber has self seeded and in 1/2 the time is healthier looking than the one left that I planted.


For the future:
1 green zucchini
1 yellow zucchini
2-3 cucumber with something to climb
1 pumpkin plant
