Keep an eye on the birds. They ate 2 sets of watermelon seedlings to date.
Birds ignored many other new growth vegetables etc. This 3rd set looks like
it will be okay. They munch on 1st growth sunflowers as well, just not to
the point of plant death.

I have so many seeds out there just for the birds to eat sprouts.
They love alfalfa, lentils, chickpeas, etc. I plan to put in about 10
mounds of watermelon hills and if two vines make it, great.

I am seeing a lot of embryonic peaches and I really hope they don't
spontaneously abort. We barely had winter and though this variety of
peach only needs 400 chill hours, I don't think we have 100 chill
hours!
