Gaden Update--I stand corrected

Yesterday I wrote that the garden was creating nothing but leaves and chewed up stems.  Well, last night I conducted a close examination (despite the heat) and found THESE:

Here is CLEARLY the start of a watermelon (about 3/8" diameter) that I am going to hover over attentively every hour on the hour until it grows up into a real watermelon.


And here is an anemic looking squash of some sort--either a yellow or green zuchini, I'd guess.  I thought it was a soggy blossom until I poked it.  It's pretty soft at this point, sort of like a butterfly just out of a chrysalis.  And certainly not appetizing looking.  But it may develop into something worth thinking about yet.
