Free jars



Free jars my favorite kind. A neighbor down the road put out all of these jars with a free sign on them.
I have not had a chance to go through them yet. Some of them are old and filthy and a few are chipped but there are a lot of good ones and the price was right ;-)

Melons and squash


Water melon does not seem to do well in this garden
it got this big and stopped growing.


Honey dew melons did the same thing. Next year melons get the axe.


This funky squash seemed to have the same problem as the melons.
