 This Spring, I planted some unlabeled watermelon seed...

After the fruit got ripe... They turned into citron melons... Now what?

They taste like cucumbers... I've tried adding to chicken salad sandwiches, I've tried cubed into ramen noodles... still looking for an ideal use that doesn't involve pounds of sugar...

When searching google... seems the South Africans use the leaves and seeds in stews... too late for that, the leaves all fell off the vines...

Made a new shovel handle that I'm pretty happy with.

I have a hop hornbeam stump sending up sprouts that make acceptable tool handles...

I've been making a few collages...

The zebra longwing and caterpillar...

Pawpaw collage, I originally planted pawpaws for the zebra swallowtail, but after getting ripe fruit... I'm planting more...

Some of the butterfly & moth photos I've taken in this garden...
