I guess the cantaloupe likes the care it's getting. There were two new flowers this morning and the leaves are getting nice and full. I'll have to keep an eye on it and make sure it's wattered well. The 4 o'clocks are perking up as well.
We'll be topping the temperature hump in the next few weeks and the plants will be ready for a quick sprint of growing. In preperatoin I still need to wrap the tomato plants around so the stems can root and provide a larger nutrient base for growth and pluck more basil flowers off to keep them happy and growing. They've been real troopers in this heat. If I can keep them up then we'll have plenty for a nice italian dinner using fresh tomato and basil. Mmmmm. Maybe even a fruit salad with cantaloupe on the side.
