Great pics. I'm glad to hear that the seeds did well.

And I thought your thread title was all about GWRipes, but yes, lots of green plants and lots of green fruits.

And please, my name is Carolyn, the Dr. bit was when I was still gainfully employed in a professional capacity. I had a professional life and a personal life and the Carolyn person was my personal life.

Carolyn, as I've signed off on every post I've made since about 1982.:)

In reading the thread title, I was assuming Carolyn was rolling in the green that has different presidents pictured.;) (Well maybe some is in your future anyway, Carolyn.

Great photos, love the Jack Skellington shirt.

Thanks for sharing.

When does your season start/end there? Or does it?

Gerardo, those are wonderful photos. The little boy is all boy, isn't he? Cutie pie!
That watermelon made me hungry.:)

@kunosoura: It doesn't really. The last few years I've been able to keep about half of the plants going strong. The weather has been a bit unpredictable, with unusually cold weather hitting us in Jan-Feb. And by cold I mean high 30s in the dead of night. I'm a bit inland so the daytime temps tend to be on the slightly hot side (90s max, usually 77 or thereabouts, and in the winter 60s). Never humid here. This winter is supposed to be wet but not cold.

Max downtime is two months. After that its wave after wave of seedlings to keep getting those big first fruits. The interesting part is seeing the whole spectrum of bugs and diseases, and figuring out which counterpunch is called for during that long span. It's like being in one those long 15 rounders of yesteryear.

I'm searching for compact growers with heavy fruit set and great flavor.

On a side note, I gave away a bag of tomatoes recently, prized ones, and I said "You should use these right away, they're perfect for salads or sandwiches." I went back to visit and the bag had the same knot on it 10 days later. Paul Robesons and Carbons wasted. I immediately understood what I had read on here, about that feeling. No worries.

Very much a boy.

That watermelon is Diana--relatively tiny, about the size of a small winter squash, with a 10 brix.
