September 25, 2012

Because it's so late in the season, I'm worried about the cooler night temperatures keeping the watermelons from ripening. Taking a lesson from Sepp Holzer, an Austrian permaculturist, I'm going to use some of the urbanite as heat sinks. Let's see what happens.



The gourds are robust; no heat sinks necessary. Too bad such an aggressive grower isn't also edible.





It's hard to see - along the midline, slightly to the lower left and another to the slight upper right - but the tomato plant that got eaten completely grew back new stems and leaves. Amazing. Glad that I didn't pull them out.
 It's even producing fruit.
