Melons

 A cloudy day following transplanting 

  Is about perfect 

Especially for the melons;  they don't enjoy the process 


100 years ago

 When I was young 

 We never even considered putting them out until May 15-20

Even then,  we'd put milk jugs over them to create a mini hot house 

 It worked ok.   

  Back then I'm not sure I even dreamed of growing them in a greenhouse 

Now it seems somewhere between luxury and necessity 

    

 See you at the market Saturday
