Kansas Cotton - AHT Garden

Last month it was flooding, this month it is dried up and blowing away. The melons are pretty much done producing. As are the maters, green beans and cucumbers are all things of the past.

But the cotton, ahh the cotton :0)

Inside this weird 'bumb' lurks the makings of a cotton sock, sweater, or perhaps....just fluff. But I am waiting patiently.

From what I have read it should open in about a month, if the conditions are favorable.
Good page for cotton information.

Lots of gourds. Surprisingly the vines are still blooming too!

Garden - "Watch Cat"

Pumpkins look healthy and ready to pick. Too bad we didn't expect them to be at this point until at least mid September.

June 26th Update

The every expanding melon patch, I swear Jimmy Hoffa is under there. The square footage of this patch is literally nearing the same as my living room.

Green peppers forming on numerous plants

Gourd plants in need of weeding

Itty bitty Cherry Tomatoes

Rainy weather is called for this week. This past weekend there was just the right amount here. Others in area though are complaining that their potatoes are rotting in the ground with all the rain. I dug what was left of mine out this past weekend, before the rain hit.

June 13th Update It's still alive!

This patch just keeps growing and growing. Something is starting to nibble ont he blooms, I suspect it's rabbits.


Cherry 'maters a growin'


'Regular' 'maters


Blooms everywhere!



I don't know if this is a melon starting or if it is just part of the bloom?
