Tomato and Watermelon


Yesterday late afternoon I transplanted seven tomato seedlings in the garden bed. Although the seedlings' growth were stunned when I put them outdoors on two windy days earlier this month, they seem to have recovered alright. Allah SWT willing we will see how they grow during this coming week. In a worst case scenario should they die, I'll get some transplants from the nearby garden center.

Husband helped to sow watermelon (bush sugar baby) seeds in the garden bed too. This is our first attempt at growing watermelons and I am hoping to harvest at least one yummy juicy watermelon from this crop. According to the package:

'Bush-type vines grow only 3-4 feet long. 8-10 inches round melons are dark green with bright scarlet, sweet and juicy flesh. Harvest in about 80 days.'

Allah SWT willing hopefully the seeds will sprout in 7-10 days.
