August harvests are a wonder! As of this haul, which includes my very first bell pepper, I can now say I grew at least one of *everything* I initially planted. I know the work that went into it, but it still feels like I struck gold. ππ₯²β€οΈπ π«π

My first season, and I did all the wrong things with tomatoes: directly-sown (and too deeply) outdoors, when the nights still got into the 40s. I had all but given up, but then plants sprouted in late June. Today, I present to you my no-so-Early Girls. π₯²π β€οΈ

My very first melon! A green cantaloupe (Diplomat variety) weighing in at 6lbs. 7.2 oz. It smelled AMAZING the moment I nipped it off the vine. The taste? No words. π€―π€€π€€π€€
