So, I had to share this! The cantaloupe is growing like crazy! It honestly never would have fit in that box in the first place. Two of the boys haven't moved their bikes since Andrew moved in and this is the result! We're guiding him up the railing now.
The funny thing is the vine growing up the bikes sure looks like it's trying to make cantaloupes. . . I didn't encourage this plant at all. I didn't help it pollinate or anything. But honestly there a whole lot of these ALL over the plant. I don't know about you, but it sure looks like it's trying to grow a cantaloupe while growing straight up . . . silly plant.
And just a photo of how it's taken over my garden. It's trying to grow up the bike in the corner there but that guy uses his bike every day so that particular vine keeps getting trampled. 10 points if you can find the strawberries underneath the cantaloupe. Speaking of which, someone's eating our strawberries. A huge disappointment since I've been watching one particularly huge strawberry grow for weeks and then I go out to pick it and somebody already ate it and the other three ripe ones. I don't know what to do to keep them out of my garden!
