^^^I never thought that would make a difference, but I don't see how it could do any harm (unless my neighbors started wondering about my sanity).
I ate the other peach. I think I picked it when it was riper than the first one had been, and it was excellent! I don't think my watermelons are going to produce anything but the butternut squash is really taking off. You can almost see the vines grow, and the squashes on them are getting big, although they're nowhere near ripe. The two pepper plants in big pots are taking a rest now, just staying green, but the full-size tomatoes are starting to produce. And the marigolds are blooming.
I had a supply of branches, so I made tripods for the blackeyed peas to climb on... they need it. I should have done it earlier, but the peas used to have stronger branches and I didn't think they'd need them. They're starting to look like green leafy teepees.
If I had started some of these earlier, indoors, they'd be huge. But I didn't get around to it, and lately I haven't had much luck starting things inside. I don't think it's damping-off, and they were getting lots of light.
