Baymule’s Farm

[Cosmo spring garden]

no kiddin'! some of us are still hoping for @ninnymary clones to come help us weed! plus i think my sister and nephew would be upset at being voted off the island (so to speak).

I would also like a clone of @ninnymary to come help me organize my garden and make it all tidy tidy

Maybe we can organize a group tour for @ninnymary . I'd love to have her come help me make my gardens look pretty once we finally move.

Oh my such a compliment! If I come over there won't be a weed left by the time I leave! haha

it is part of my evil plan to take over the world by doing as little as possible. all joking aside, you've also been a good keed and i'm glad to have met you here on TEG.

i took pictures yesterday of the gardens. almost all of them have plenty of weeds for the OCD gardeners to fret over.

@ninnymary since I don’t even have a garden space yet, you are invited to design mine. I just have to tear down some sheds, a horse pen and a string of scrappy chicken coops. It may take me awhile…….

You say when and I just may show up. What's your nearest airport?

Remember Thistlebloom invited me over and I showed up! haha

I'm having my first Petit Gris de Rennes melon this morning. So juicy and flavorful although it seemed like last years was sweeter. Maybe I should have held off on watering to concentrate the sugars? Or is that even a thing? It's been a few degrees warmer this summer so that was good.

my first Petit Gris de Rennes melon

Baymule may find that melon variety a good choice for East Texas.

Two year trial -- I checked back and, yes, I lost half of them at the end of the growing season during second year. First year . Noticed that I had NO galia melons until the end of August one year! We started the month of August 2023 by having one or two ,

I learned that Petit Gris de Rennes is classified as a Charentais. That means that I have tried just about a half dozen years to replace the Honey Girl that was taken off the market about 12-15 years ago. Honey Girl Charentais failed for me once in 5 years of growing.

I am a little apprehensive that the Lilly Crenshaw hasn't yet ripened a fruit in this very good melon year. What will it do if things aren't so good? ... Oh, don't mind me -- my melon head just starts clicking when someone mentions one of the most important reasons for me to have a garden. It can't be the only one because I gardened about 30 years before I had any success with melons at'all.
