How can you tell it was nice out today? I got so much done outside to post about! π
I just wanted to share some of my finds today. Like this adorable little guy.

The tree frogs seem to really like the sacks we’re using to grow potatoes! I keep finding them, all tucked in and napping. π
Though we have almost no grapes at all this year, the few we do have are managing to survive and ripen.

I am just loving how the colour is changing on this squash! Our one and only winter squash. Though there are many little ones growing, even if they don’t all die off as they have been, I don’t think there’s enough growing season left for them to fully ripen.
The melons, on the other hand…

The Halona melons turn orange as they ripen! I’m sure that was obvious on the seed packet photo, but I didn’t even think to look.
There was something I missed completely when I took this photo, though.
I saw another one that was starting to turn colour, too, and lifted it to check the weight, only to see the stem come off. So I went back to the first one and realized it was completely detached from its stem already!

Aren’t they adorable?? β€
After picking one of each melon type to taste test, and they both turned out to be under ripe, I look forward to seeing how different these ones taste.

Ghost froggy is white and apparently already croaked. π π π
Shame about the melons detaching from their stems early. Maybe they’ll finish ripening in the fridge or on the counter.

We just had the larger one. It was perfectly ripe. The stem on the other one did not break off, but came off smoothly. I think that is the sign that it is ripe for these.
