Not much was growing in my garden due to the intense long hot Texas summer.
July 2009 sets record for temperaturesAugust wasn't much better. Now anything under 100 feels like a cool front.

The previous record, with an average daily temperature of 89.1 degrees, was set in July 1860. Last month, daily temperatures averaged 89.5 degrees.
July 2009 had 26 days with temperatures over 100 degrees, and 42 days saw triple-digit highs so far this summer.
Highest temperature on a July day at Camp Mabry: 109 degrees, July 27, 1954

Normal rainfall total: 1.97 inches
Back to my garden story. Since not much was growing except the weeds in the garden, I decided to toss some watermelon seeds from a watermelon as compost and to see what would happen. Pretty soon the vine started to spread and take over. It was a while before I saw a little melon take hold. Taking care of it over a few months, I decided today was the day to taste the fruits of my labor.
Behold pics of my two watermelons:
