Melon and Pumpkin Patches

The melon patch has produced a lot of cantaloupes and several watermelons.

The Marina Di Chioggia pumpkin is supposed to be about 6 – 12 pounds. However what I found hiding under the leaves looks like it is going to be closer to 20. It also looks like there are at least 5 of them and a second batch is starting to grow.

This year’s Cinderella pumpkins are less lobed and more red than last year’s which were from another source. They are about the same size, so there will be more than enough to share.

These are the Sugar Pie pumpkins. The vines were hard hit by powdery mildew so it is not likely there will be a second growth spurt for this variety.
