I planted three melon seeds, and there are three melon seeds sprouting, but of course, none of them are in the place I planted the melon seeds because of all the rain. Perhaps I'll relocate one of the melon sprouts to the right spot. I did a bunch of weeding today and have gotten it so that it is now possible to get all the way to the far end of the garden (which is shaped a bit like the prow of a ship). I think it won't rain tomorrow, so perhaps I'll put down some more of the cardboard "path". It is funny how much a path makes me more likely to walk through different sections of the garden. I look forward to getting the rest of the cardboard version put in.
