Saturday garden photo thread. The squash and melons.

The melons are all doing good and the summer squash have got past their wilting stage but there is still some wilting on the winter squash if I don't give them a good soaking of water in the morning as it starts to warm up.

#HumblePoeticCranes

the binaural hum
of the fridge was
so effective last night
even the voices in my
head were subdued
now the thrumming hum
of chat & chatter are
back & my energy spoons
cast asunder
which if I squint looks like
cat’s ass under
& the world is in
chaotic anisotropic harmony
