GA: Cantalope harvested! But I think too early even though tendrils were all dried (stem was still green)

Harvested the cantelope today because both tendrils where the stem joins were completely dried up, and I worried about theft, especially since it was my one and only cantelope.

I think it needed more time on the vine though, because while it's perfectly edible, it's not particularly sweet or flavourful.

GA: Here's what's tulled/"tulled": All of the squash, watermelon, cantalope, potatoes, leeks, cucumbers, most of the onions

I will use "tulle" loosely, to refer to any of the various netting I have, which now includes not only tulle but also shear curtains from the thfit store, and Proteknet from William Dam Seeds (the piece I bought was 14' by 25').

Of course, eventually the squash and cucumbers will need to be untulled -- goodness help me when that terrifying day comes!!!

Started in PT: cucumber, watermelon, cantalope summer squash, winter squash (forgot to buy butternut)

Started a bunch of seeds in PT today -- some of these will be for the yard, some will be for gaga:

- Cucumber:  Eureka
- Zucchini:  8-Ball
- Zucchini:  Golden Glory
- Zucchini:  Dark Green
- Summer squash:  Golden Scallopini
- Watermelon:  Blacktail Mountain
- Cantalope:  Hales Best Jumbo (from the foil packet collection)
- Winter squash:  Jumbo Pink Banana (used up the last of the foil packet seeds)
- Winter squash:  Cushaw White

I forgot that I didn't have any butternut squash seeds, so I will buy some and definitely grow that too.
