Watermelon Lament

Sad news on the garden front.

The watermelon plant is dead. Here, tale a look:


This picture was taken a couple of days ago. It's worse today. I know it looks like it needs water, but trust me when I tell you that is the *last* thing it needs. Between the torrential rain we had several days last week, and my own efforts, water isn't the problem.

I've fertilized, I've diatemaceous earthed it, sprayed it with my sister's guaranteed soap and water treatment against bugs. And nothing. Nada. Zip. It looks almost just like what happened to my squash over and over, and that was larvae in the blossoms. But watermelon isn't squash so... I just don't know. It was all so promising, and now I"m super bummed.

The beans are worse off than the watermelon, but I'll save that for another day. Tomorrow, a good gardent thing!
