the green (and dirty) truck is loaded with ...
65 watermelons
3 bushel of various squash
4 -- 1/2 bushels of apples
3 pumpkins (pathetic)
1 canopy & related stuff
3 tables (and tablecloths)
1 lawn chair
1 garbage pail
1 cash box (kinda important)
1 library book
1 crochet work
so the verdict is in ...
the melons have no leaves but the vines look pretty good -- it will be a challenge to keep the deer out of them so I think 10 days max ...
carnivals are the only variety of squash I'll have with any quantity -- the rest are immature and nibbled on by the deer ...
6 regular pumpkins ( $42 for seed ) so that calculates to $ 7 a pumpkin -- the rest were immature and nibbled on by deer (noticing the trend) ... I really didn't plant many --- 18 hills at max ... so .....
so ... gonna have to let it play out and see what happens .... it could be worse --- it could have SNOWED !!!!

ps. the house is 250 - 300 feet away from the patch with a windbreak between the two -- nothing froze at the house ....but the damn deer are nibbling in the yard !!!
