First Planting of Watermelons !

Well last weekend Dad planted the first 10 rows of black diamond watermelons, so the season has officially started! He also planted 900 seeds of cantaloupe hoping to expand on them this year. The next day he went out to the patch and field mice had decimated the planting. He has declared war on the the little pests, and set out a bunch of traps to cut down their numbers, so hopefully he can get them under control. :)
