I left enough space for a squash plant. I think I will transfer one of the Mutabile zucchini plants from the winter sown containers. Mutabile zucchini is supposed to be a bush variety with powdery mildew resistance. It should fit just perfectly in that spot.
Today I planted eight melon varieties in the back tulip garden. I'm hoping the melon plants will shade out much of the grass and weeds that are cropping up between the tulips and irises right now. It will be a jumbled mess of melons, strawberries, raspberries, and flowers. Included in the new melon selection are: Hearts of Gold cantaloupe, Honeydew Green Flesh, Sweet Siberian watermelon, Jubilee watermelon, Carolina Cross watermelon, Georgia Rattlesnake watermelon, Cream of Saskatchewan watermelon, and Yellow Moon and Stars watermelon.

She is half Flemish Giant and half Californian, and she was born 3/27/16. She's a sweetheart. Due to Tony's work schedule and the availability of the breeder, #3, #5 and I ended up taking a bike ride to go and meet the breeder to pick her up. You'll notice that the photo above was taken as soon as we got home and she was still in the bike carrier part that #5 rode in. He was happy to share his space with Alice. I hope to get a better photo of Alice later. The root beer irises are blooming. They are just wonderful. I catch #4 sometimes balancing on the brick garden border leaning over to smell them. When we move I absolutely have to dig them up and bring them with.
