and I actually had small (1/4 inch long or so) yellowish worms burrowed in to several heads. I'd never seen that before. It was a pathetic crop all around, only about a quarter as much as I harvested last year, even though I planted twice as much. I'm wondering if I can figure out a way to plant this year in shallow tray beds in a way I can bring the heads in and have them overwinter in my garage to at least stay above freezing.

Still only teeny tiny cukes starting up, but I've got a watermelon that's about 2 inches across so far. I didn't get the rain we were supposed to have today, so I guess I'll be out watering again soon.
