Visual Growth Progress

5/1/26: I am upset of my little man who decided to mix his own soapy water and sprayed on the Whatamelon Hybrid, the most productive sweet melon among the varieties we are growing in our edible garden. The vine was luscious green and very healthy yesterday. Just within a night, most of the leaves got burnt and a few baby melons browned and dying. So I had the little man cut off the infected leaves and fruits. It might have been a concentrated soapy water he mixed up to cause that much damage.
