    Stick with your garden. It will get better and better as time goes by. It took my family a good 10+ years for the garden to fully come around and my parents would still think it needed more work into it. Beautiful watermelon!

      Yesss! It was so delicious. Nothing better than fresh watermelon on a hot summer day. I can't wait to get back outside and play in the dirt!

    Wait till the stem starts to turn brown and wither. Your watermelon will hit levels of sweet you wouldn't believe

    I have chickens, big mistake, not them, just the amount. Really, don’t get chickens unless your prepared to loose a few, and get at least a dozen. We have 6 and it just doesn’t work. If you let them out a few are bound to die, having 6 means that the pecking order is very established vs if you had a dozen where they would have more of a group mentality. Get the same breed of chickens aswell, or many of one breed. We thought it’d be nice to have 6 different chickens, we’ve lost about 5 I think and now we have 4 different breeds and 6 chickens. The breeds all lay different eggs which is ok, but two of them lay almost never, because they are “designer” chickens be careful what type you get and do LOTS of research on their breeds and laying. You can tell the difference between home eggs from free range chickens and the store eggs, seriously i HATE store eggs now. I litterly almost throw up when I eat them!
