Cucumbers and Cantaloupe and Catnip, Oh My

Courtney and I got in a gardening kind of mood Sunday. It was a perfect Texas April weekend, warm but not hot, surprisingly low humidity and I sent Courtney to Lowe's for some vegetable plants on sale. She came back with gerbera daisies, the herbs and veggies I asked for a several watermelon and cantaloupe plants. So I potted all the herbs and a new patio tomato while she found spots for the squash, cucumbers and melons. Its been a few years since we've done any melons but we have space in one of the beds where one of my big antique roses was (was as in an overly ambitious pruning took her out). So this year that bed is for cantaloupes, cucumbers and watermelon. It should be interesting. We already have 3 tomatoes in the ground so we put up tomato cages, planted some parsley and catnip and a couple of summer squash. It will be fun to see what our little garden patches will do, the neighbors will think we have some odd new flowers...
