new bed

Made a new garden bed by covering a patch with garbage bags (full of the dead leaves) for a few weeks so it would smother the grass and weeds. Works very well, if unsightly for a while! After a heavy rain, it was easy to pull up the remaining roots from some vine that was in there. I raked up all the litter then planted in the little Watermelons, which had crowded up their pots.

One already has a small flower.
