On the Fence in Rainy July…
What a July! Temps in 90s…humidity about 90-thousand percent. A four inch rain last week, a five inch rain the other day… A walk outside means you are drenched in either rain or sweat or both. But things are growing like crazy. Hey! That looks like a watermelon, um, growing up the fence!
Ok, I’d seen the edges of that vine making it’s way up the fence, but I was surprised to see the size of that little growing melon. They are a small variety…crimson sweet I think…but I don’t think the vines will support a full-grown melon hanging in air.
Hmmm. What to do? Hmmm, how about…
Yes! Finally a use for pantyhose I can get excited about!
I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks so much for stopping by Larrapin Garden. I’m a bit behind at posting this month, but I’m going to try my best not to have my usual mid-summer lull!

Beautiful melon, Leigh. But inquiring minds want to know, what were you doing with pantyhose at home?

HAHA! Ya know, a certain drag-queen-for-a-night left them at my house. I was keeping them in case of, you know, job interviews or funerals! Just kidding, I don’t even wear them in those cases…but they are darn handy in the garden. Great for tying up tomato plants too… Thanks for stopping by Beverly!
