Keep the soil moist and warm, at a temperature of 21 – 22°C What month do you plant watermelon? Plant watermelon from late spring to early summer, once soil temperatures reach 70° F or above. Space watermelon 3 to 5 feet apart in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Sweet, fragrant, and brimming with juice, melons are the original thirst quencher. Since they’ve been cultivated for thousands of years, they come in an amazing range of sizes, colors, and shapes. The most popular type sold in the US is the orange-fleshed cantaloupe, which is actually a type of muskmelon, or netted melon. (True cantaloupes are smaller and available mostly in Europe and the Middle East.) Other grocery-store standards include the honeydew, a reliably sweet green-fleshed melon, and of course, numerous varieties of watermelons. But increasingly, more unusual types are found in local farmer’s markets from August through early autumn. FREE GIFT when you order 5 items or more. Free gift is full of surprise seeds which may include single or mixed varieties. Some, such as the Charentais, with its dark orange flesh and musky aroma, don’t ship well and are best bought locally. Other exotically-named varieties you might find include the slightly spicy Crenshaw, the super-sweet white-fleshed Canary, or the aptly named Tangerine Dream watermelon. Note: No tracking # will be provided to make the shipping cost-effective for us and free for you. Returns & exchanges Not accepted.

These are all the things I want to grow and have the seeds for this year, though some things are missing from this list.

This blog is my only income source as I am an unpaid live-in aide for an elderly woman. No pressure though.

At Last, The Barn Regains It's Soul. Thanks, Melon.
The big plastic window on the barn – put in eight years ago when I wasn’t paying attention – is finally gone, Melon, our young Amish friend is replacing it with wood and also inserting an old farm window.
I feel like the barn has regained it’s soul, that plastic has bothered me every time I see it. We’re going to paint it this weekend.
I don’t take photos of Amish people any longer, I sometimes…

Went out to sow some seedlings and up pot what needed to be up potted and three hours later I have finally up potted all the tomatoes (except I ran out of soil on the last tomato so there’s two in one pot). I need to get more soil and labels, the ones in the video are dividing the varieties.
The first variety in the video is black strawberry, then Dr. Wyche, Amish Paste, Early Girl, Paul Robeson, and thorburn terracotta. I don’t know if it was just because they were the last ones I potted but thorburn terracotta separated very easily, especially for their size! Everything seems to be going well with that variety.
I started my plants only wanting four of each variety of tomato and peppers. As you can see, I have far surpassed that amount. I hope my grandpa and coworkers can use them, I’ll need to find many good homes for extras :)
If I have time tomorrow I’ll be up potting my remaining seedlings after a trip to the store as well as sowing cucumber, melon, and flower seeds. This greenhouse is going to be busting at the seams 🌱
(For reference, there are 83 plants I up potted tonight. I fully expect some to not survive or mature, but that is a far cry from the 20 plants I planned on having!)

Rare Exotic ORANGEGLO WATERMELON Seeds, Tropical Fruit Seeds, Non-GMO, Organic, Heirloom B10 Beautiful, deep orange flesh; very sweet, excellent, almost tropical flavor! The best-tasting of ALL orange varieties we tried—the favorite of many who tried it at our place. High yields. Very resistant to wilt and insects; strong healthy vines. These will sell at roadside stands & markets! Introduced by Willhite Seed Co. prior to 1965.
Count 10
Days to Maturity: 85-90 Days Full Sun Seed Depth: 1/2" Sprouts in 7-14 Days Ideal Temperature: 75-90 Degrees F Plant Spacing: 18" Frost Hardy: No Citrullus vulgaris
French heirloom variety 2 lb. fruits with small seed cavities Sweet, richly flavored flesh with a powerful fragrance Open-pollinated A flavor unlike modern melons
Growing Tips: Direct seed, or set out indoor-started transplants after the last frost date when really warm weather has arrived. Needs rich soil (amend with compost) and plenty of moisture.
Prepare the soil for the watermelon planting about 2 weeks before the average last spring frost date in your area. 1. Use compost and fertilizer. 2. Form six to eight-inch high raised beds to speed soil warming and have good drainage. 3. Plant the seeds ½ to one inch deep. 4. Sow 2 or 3 seeds in groups 18 to 24 inches apart.
How do you take care of a watermelon plant? Keep the plants well-watered at all times, especially when flowering and fruiting, and feed weekly with a high potash liquid plant food once the first fruit has set. Pinch out the growing tips at the fifth leaf to encourage side shoots, which will bear the flowers.
The key to growing a successful crop of watermelons is heat. Don’t even start planting your melons until soil temperatures are above 70 degrees. They also like well-amended and very nutrient-rich soil. Working a generous amount of compost and composted manure into the soil before planting will set your watermelons up for success.
Watermelons are ready to harvest once the melon "slips" from the vine when gently tugged. Don't leave them too long, however, as ripe watermelons have a sweet aroma that attracts insects.
FREE GIFT when you order 5 items or more. Free gift is full of surprise seeds which may include single or mixed varieties.

From Plastic To Wood And Window Sash. Good Riddance. It's In The Capable Hands Of Melon
I made two promises to myself this Spring. The First would be to find a way to get rid of that ugly plastic window on the side of the Pole Barn. Our young Amish friend Mehlon is working on it.
I don’t recall how it happened, but I dislike it whenever I see it. We have a very old house and barn, and a big plastic window doesn’t work here.
My other project, launched tomorrow, will be to clean the…

In Lancaster, Pa., Horse Inn Is a Bar Destination for Modern Drinkers
This article is a part of our inaugural Next Wave Awards. For the full list of 2021 winners, check out the whole series here.
Horse Inn is the kind of tavern rarely seen in America’s major cities any more — and rarely seen in the smaller ones as well. A place that can act as an early evening restaurant for families and an all-hours “local” for, well, locals (they offer a clawfoot bathtub full of cheap, canned “mystery” beers at the front bar), as well as an elevated lounge for cocktail enthusiasts and late-night whiskey snobs. You can buy a $27 Glencairn of Thomas H. Handy rye or play a game of quarter foosball if you want. Like most bars in the world, it is also a tavern whose insides haven’t been seen by any drinkers whatsoever for most of 2020 and early ‘21.
Almost immediately during that first weekend of Northeast lockdown in mid-March 2020, Horse Inn had shifted to curbside pickup. By late spring, it was selling bottled cocktails like Old Fashioneds and its Saving Grace, made with vodka, pomegranate, and lavender. Nothing revolutionary, of course, and surely not why it merits our bar program of the year.
As used to dining outdoors or bringing burgers and beers back home as we all have become, a recently reopened Horse Inn reminds you why we like to go out in the first place. Located in lovely Lancaster, Pa. — a somehow still-underrated gem just 90 minutes from Philly and Baltimore, or three hours from New York — the dark, atmospheric, two-story venue is one of the city’s oldest continually operating restaurants, dating back to Prohibition.
The second floor, where all the action happens today (are there really this many hip people living in Lancaster?!), is the site of a former hayloft. The high-backed booths — literally reclaimed horse stalls — are perfect for hiding the diners from the drinkers at the 1800s-era wooden bar, sitting atop barstools that were once Conestoga wagon wheels.
Chef and co-owner Matt Russell (the fourth owner of Horse Inn, along with his wife Starla Lane Russell) made his bones sous-ing for Sean Brock at McCrady’s in Charleston and, not surprisingly, Horse Inn offers pub grub par excellence. Go for the tips ‘n’ toast, don’t skip the hot wings or shrimp and grits, and be prepared to have some of the best produce a bar has ever served you — things like warm-roasted squash and eggplant and sauteed kalettes, often sourced from nearby Amish farmers. But you can have just as much fun simply drinking.
Always laid back, crank up your own personal pretensions however flush you’re feeling, opting for a cold pull of $3 Yuengling or a craft cocktail that could easily stack up with the best offerings in Manhattan, San Francisco, or London. These are not simply sugary crowd-pleasers; many drinks toy with an unexpected tartness, herbaceousness, and/or savoriness.
Like Russell’s dishes, head bartender Andrew Burton’s cocktails are inspired by the incredible produce from the area. Late spring brought HAL 9000, a milk punch utilizing seasonal strawberries. When it got hot, Burton offered a frozen Summer Melon Marg, made with Lapp Family Farm’s floral cantaloupe blended with tequila and Manzanilla sherry. The Tejuino-esque Mas Maiz features corn cob-infused tequila, fermented corn, and Demerara syrup, along with chipotle bitters, smoked salt, and a mezcal rinse. Starla explains that new cocktails come on the menu so fast these days, the change from tangible menus to QR codes has sure saved a lot of paper.
Horse Inn likewise has a deep whiskey lineup that will please the most tuned-in neat sippers. Yes, there’s the requisite unicorn bottles like Old Forester Birthday Bourbon and Pappy Van Winkle, though better to opt for Horse Inn’s own private barrel of 13-year-old Weller, a steal at $14 a pour. Just be sure to make a reservation, as the first-come-first-serve system that used to elicit long lines every single night had to be scrapped in the age of Covid.
“Our vision was to make going out special again,” says Starla. “We wanted it to be a three-hour event. We wanted people to come inside and forget about the troubles of the day and relax and let us show them a great time.”

The Gift of Laughter (Post 85) 4-22-15)
Natalie came back from PSR with a story last Sunday. I am not sure what the letters PSR mean but the class is the rebranded version of CCD that Natalie attends each Sunday morning at Holy Family parish in Stow, Ohio where my mother has been taking my daughter this last year. It is a good parish and the program has been keeping Natalie in touch with her Catholic faith in my absence. As with many of her stories, dissecting Natalie’s most recent tale was like deciphering hieroglyphs.
Natalie told me that the teacher had brought her class to Eucharistic Adoration so they would all know that Jesus was available to them at any time – Holy Family has perpetual adoration. A trip to an adoration chapel is not a new experience for Natalie as she and I used to visit Jesus for a short time each Friday evening before we celebrated the end of another week at Pizazz for Frozen Yogurt. She said that she and a friend in the class has taken a book to look at from the shelf of inspirational material inside the chapel and began to page through it as they passed their time with Jesus.
Natalie told me that the two of them had made a horribly wrong selection from the mini library as their choice tome was filled with gruesome pictures depicting the Passion in gory detail. She explained that Adoration has always been a peaceful if slightly boring experience for her but this time the book made her short period of contemplative time more like visiting a crime scene. Note- Natalie didn’t actually confess to being bored in Adoration but the fidgeting and gratuitous trips to the restroom is evidence against her. Anyway, she described the book as “freaky.” When asked by her teacher back in the classroom what they had learned from their experience, Natalie responded, “don’t read the bloody book.”
I was unable to ascertain from interrogating Natalie the exact identity of the bloody book. I had my suspicions but couldn’t confirm them for sure. I was happy to discover that the bloody book was not the Bible, but a ten year old is tough to successfully quiz about theological literature. To answer the riddle definitively, Natalie and I decided to resume our dormant tradition and begin visiting Jesus each Friday evening as we used to in Brentwood. Because Pizazz is not evidently a national chain, my father recommended another FroYo joint called Sweet Frog that is right up the street from the parish.
So we went together last Friday. It was good just to be doing something familiar. Although the setting, circumstance, and faces were different, it made me feel grounded and comfortable to be doing something that Natalie and I had used to do together before our year apart began with Nick’s cancer diagnosis. As we entered the chapel, Natalie turned aside momentarily for something and when I sat down in my seat she dropped the bloody book in my lap. As I suspected, it was a pictography of Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ. Quite a different reading category from the Captain Underpants and Bunnicula section where Natalie usually browses.
I cracked a smile thinking about the likely bewildered reaction from my daughter’s PSR teacher. Natalie has been instructing me to smile more. The surroundings here are conducive. Certainly, I still worry some, but I also have been able to relax and be at peace more often than I have been able in a long while. The presence of my brother Sean and my parents has reduced my ambient level of stress. My mom usually has a puzzle set up on the dining room table that we only use for eating during two meals a year. My dad and brother are always ready to whittle away an hour or two with me watching any available sporting event during which they pepper the experience with jokes and observations from the last forty-five years of their Ohio life.
We are dedicated fans of Ohio State football but not as enthusiastic as the 99,300 zealots that bought $5 tickets for the privilege of sitting on the hard metal seats of Ohio Stadium to view a spring practice intramural extravaganza bedecked in extraneous hoopla. Instead we just taped the carnival masquerading as a serious football game and watched every play from scrimmage and every sideshow folly at least twice. We sampled the circle challenge, the push-up contest and the half-time quarterback throw-off all with equal relish. Mostly we swapped jokes and enjoyed each other’s good company. During the game Natalie didn’t have to remind me to smile.
There was a flash thunderstorm this Sunday morning while I was resting peacefully on a recliner in my parent’s sunroom. What had before been a sunny morning in a matter of minutes turned dark and rumbly while rain pelted down on the skylight above me. Soon hail pellets were ricocheting about the back deck leaving an intermittent covering like a dusting of confectioner’s sugar. It couldn’t have been a more thorough rendition of a Mid-Western spring day unless an Amish buggy had pulled into the driveway and disgorged John Mellancamp, who brandished an acoustic guitar and belted out a chorus of Jack and Diane. I felt at peace.
But still oddly no laughter. The smile is there more often, but true laughter eludes me. I remember laughing once with my older brother Jim and a coworker named Biscuit because we had eaten too much watermelon for no good reason. The laughing fit was truly a bad idea. Once you have eaten so much water melon that your sides ache, it is best to not realize just how stupid you have been to eat far too much watermelon and to discover that your predicament is actually sort of hilarious.
Although true hilarity still eludes me, I am quite thankful for the restoration of peace that God has afforded me. Natalie makes me smile and probably does enough laughing on her own to make up for my excessive subdued sobriety. I remember the days two years ago when her tears came again and again, sometimes with an hour in between, but often a quarter hour of distraction was all that she could muster between the sobs and the questions for which I had no good answers. Tonight, instead, I watched her shadow box her man mountain of a grandfather as they cut up over some feigned disagreement. I smiled at their silliness. My cup has been poured full of joy and peace.
It will be interesting to see what new level of happiness ensues once the last two prodigals Donnelly folk return from west of the Mississippi. I doubt that the fatted calf will be slaughtered, but there is a Steak and Shake right around the corner.

Rare Exotic Prescott Fond Blanc Melon Seeds, Tropical Fruit Seeds, Non-GMO, Organic, Heirloom B10 The Prescott Fond Blanc Melon is an old French heirloom variety that produces the most fragrant aroma when grown properly. This variety has a bumpy outer shell, making it look more squash than melon! However, its flesh is a dark salmon orange with a juicy sweet flavor. This variety prefers a hot, dry growing season and is best when picked slightly green and ripened indoors. The most unique and beautiful French melon we sell! The fruit is 4-9 lbs., very flattened and ribbed, with warts and bumps. Melons have grey/green skin turning straw color; flesh is salmon-orange. Once one of the best known melons, it was mentioned in the 1860’s, but it likely is much older. The flavor is very rich if picked at perfection, and the fragrance is heavenly. This is a favorite melon of ours, almost unheard of in this country. Count 10 85-90 Days Full Sun Seed Depth: 1/2" Sprouts in 7-14 Days Ideal Temperature: 75-90 Degrees F Plant Spacing: 18" Frost Hardy: No Cucumis melo French heirloom variety Sweet, richly flavored flesh with powerful fragrance Heirloom, Open-pollinated A flavor unlike modern melons Melons provide a sweet and colorful addition to summer meals, and they can be grown in the home garden. In addition to the typical cantaloupe and honeydew melons, gardeners can grow other varieties such as banana melons. Before Planting: A light, well-drained soil with a pH of 7.0 and a southern exposure is ideal. Good soil moisture is important in early stages of growth and during pollination when fruits are set. Planting: For direct seeding, sow 1-2 weeks after last frost when soil is warm, above 70°F, 3 seeds every 18″, 1/2″ deep, thinning to 1 plant/spot. Space rows 6′ apart. For transplanting, sow indoors in 3 weeks before last frost and transplanting outside. Plant 2-3 seeds per or pot, about 1/4″ deep. Keep temperature 80-90°F until germination. Handle young plants carefully and never let the soil dry out. Grow seedlings at 75°F. Reduce water and temperature for a week to harden seedlings. When the weather is frost-free, warm, and settled, transplant 2-3′ apart in rows 6′ apart or thin to 1 plant/pot or cell with scissors and transplant 18″ apart. Even hardened melon seedlings are tender. Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly. Watering: Melons need a steady supply of water, and soil needs to be damped but not flooded, approximately 1 inch a week. Fertilizer: Prior to planting, mix aged manure and compost into the soil. Melons are heavy feeders, so fertilize at planting and throughout the growing season with a 5-5-5 or 10-10-10 granular fertilizer. Do not let the granules come in contact with the plant. Days to Maturity: A ripe melon should be very easy to remove from the vine. For a cantaloupe, the netting pattern on the melon becomes more visible and a crack appears at the base of the stem when it was ripe. For a honeydew, the color becomes creamy. Most melon varieties are ready for harvest when the gray-green color begins to change to pale yellow and when a light tug separates the fruit from the vine. Some melon types, like honeydew, Charentais, canary, Spanish, and Crenshaw are overripe by the time the stem can be tugged from the fruit. (See each variety for days to maturity) Harvesting: Melons must be cut from the vine. All melons should be stored at 90% relative humidity. Store ripe melons at 40-45°F for 7-14 days. Tips: Cut off watering 1 week before harvest. This will give a more flavorful, concentrated melon. Overwatering before harvest can cause bland taste. Prepare the soil for the melon planting about 2 weeks before the average last spring frost date in your area. 1. Use compost and fertilizer. 2. Form six to eight-inch high raised beds to speed soil warming and have good drainage. 3. Plant the seeds ½ to one inch deep. 4. Sow 2 or 3 seeds in groups 18 to 24 inches apart. How do you take care of a melon plant? Keep the plants well-watered at all times, especially when flowering and fruiting, and feed weekly with a high potash liquid plant food once the first fruit has set. Pinch out the growing tips at the fifth leaf to encourage side shoots, which will bear the flowers. The key to growing a successful crop of melons is heat. Don’t even start planting your melons until soil temperatures are above 70 degrees. They also like well-amended and very nutrient-rich soil. Working a generous amount of compost and composted manure into the soil before planting will set your melons up for success. Melons are ready to harvest once the melon "slips" from the vine when gently tugged. Don't leave them too long, however, as ripe melons have a sweet aroma that attracts insects.

What Is Beard Oil?
It is a oil designed to be applied on your beard. It is easier to be absorbed than other oils and it`s lighter. It makes the beard soft and shiny because of the carrier and essential oils used to create it. They usually include: jojoba oil, argan oil, coconut oil. Beard oils are also scented.
