Dr. Bashioum’s Friday Photo
August 3rd, 2012
No shortage of sunny days in my garden this year. Being adjacent to the marsh has really helped during this extended dry spell. There is nothing better than to hand-pick corn and to eat it hot and fresh from the grill! Always one of my favorite Minnesota summer treats.
Garden Photo: Finally a Watermelon
September 18th, 2011
It was the first year that I’ve tried to grow watermelons and didn’t have much success this summer. We cut numerous melons in an attempt to find a ripe one, without much success. All the references indicate different strategies, but waiting seems to be the best advice! Here is a photo of one of the few ripe and delicious watermelons, picked just before the threat of frost warnings. Minnesota gardening has its challenges!
