let’s just take a break from all of this woe-is-me chemo business for a second. remember that garden i planted? i snuck out to have a look at it today. the “garden soil” we had delivered is pretty useless, so things have been off to a slow start in there. over by, and from, the compost pile, however, things are much happier! and by “things,” i mean plants.
i have a mystery melon growing from the geobin. i’m guessing watermelon, but what do i know? it’s something we ate, that’s all i can be sure of. maybe a cantaloupe? i’ve done zero research, but perhaps a kind reader will point me in the right direction. (i should post more photos of the developing fruit and flowers, huh?)
the trellis that is intended to hide our trash bin is home to a few heirloom tomatoes. i’m really excited about the tomatoes. free tomatoes are a good thing.

I tried to research your mystery vine. I am guessing a muskmelon (cantalope).

I am such a terrible gardener. My one attempt at organic gardening yielded a big fat nothing. This year, I pumped my tomatoes full of fertilizer and out of 3 plants, I will get a total of 20 tomatoes for the entire season. You have mad skillz.

these are growing right out of the compost pile, so it’s something we know we ate.
