9 weeks

• I think the 100 degree weeks stunted the garden for a while. Now that we are in the high 80s it appears the plants like this temperature much better, things are really taking off.
• Insects destroyed all the squash plants and left the cucumber plant on its death bed.
• Most of the sweet pepper plants have not grown since transplanting of the seedlings.
• After the rabbits ate literally every leaf of the sweet potatoe plants, they have come roaring back, and are now likely to take over half the garden.
• Watermellon plants are doing well. We had one nice mellon about 2 weeks from harvest and it "disappeared". Too big for a squirrel to carry away. I guess the neighborhood kids got hungry. We have two more mellons growing very fast. Hopefully the human pests will stay away this time.
• Cantelope is doing fantastic! Have about 8 mellons ready for harvest in about 3 weeks.
• Tomato plants are doing very well but not much fruit yet. Lots of flowers, and appears to be ready to start producing fruit.
