Rain - June 7, 2025

The previous post, titled "Watermelons and zinnias," never mentioned them. 

Ah, well...it was just for me, anyway, to remind me when I planted them.

For what it's worth, they're in the vegetable garden.  The zinnias are between the okra and the cucumbers.  The okra will probably shade them, and then the cucumbers will drag them down to the ground.  Whatever.  I was tee-totally pooped by the time I got to the watermelon seed package.  I buried the whole packet of seeds in one mound in the northwest corner of the garden.  

I had hoped to get the wood chips moved to the garden today, but it's raining.  

Yesterday, after I got back from the greenhouse and planted the peppers, I played with fondant.  I made some little gymnast figurines.  They were supposed to look like little girls, but they look more like little granny gymnasts.  I left them uncovered on the kitchen table to see what the texture would be like when they dried - whether their body parts will fall off when I pick them up, etc.  They held together right well.  Now, if I can only make them look a little younger.  :)  Today, with all the rain, is probably not a good day to resume the experiments.  But I need to figure it out soon.  The birthday party is next weekend.
