Fertilizing!

Fertilized all the acid-loving plants two days ago. Cottonseed meal for all except the mandarin, which got alfalfa pellets instead because it's already gone to fruit and I don't want to mess it up. The small avocado didn't get anything because there happened to be at least two colonies of ants in the large bed which I needed to fight off. I'm not sure if they're gone, but I can't re-flood the bed just yet because of the watermelon Moon and Stars. It's growing like crazy but the gigantic unflowering cosmos was blocking the morning sun so I had to hack it down. If I baby the watermelon maybe I'll be able to get something out of it since it's flowering and all. Maybe I'll flood the bed again in a day or two since it's so hot out. I'll fertilize the small avocado today if I remember. And also the lemon tree out front, since it's flowering too.
