A Day Out Back

Our cantelope was kind of a late bloomer, but we got a couple good sized ones off the vine. It was super sweet! It was a fun and pretty vine to have in the garden and was well protected by some mean looking enormous spiders!
Check out the roots on this puppy!! This is an artichoke plant we had to transplant. We put two in a row about 2 feet apart, but they needed to be about 4 ft apart...so we dug and dug and DUG until we finally were able to pull this monster out of the soil. I thought I had killed it, but it's thriving like never before. Hearty thistle of a plant! I hope we get some nice arti's off them next year!
You can't tell really how deep this is, but this is the hole it came out of.
My favorite people chillen out back on the patio.

Chillen' cuz they are TIRED! :) So cute.
