The watermelons just don't seem to be growing. They are stuck the size of a... I can't even think.... larger than a softball, smaller than a cantaloupe.
I just decided that we should pick it and see what was on the inside. What a surprise to find red fruit.
Tasty red fruit! Bee and her friend enjoyed a piece and Lou ate his, rind and all. I tasted the rind since Lou did, and it wasn't bad at all.
We ate it in about one minute though... There are two more on the vine. I guess we'll pick those soon too. (Yes, Lou is wearing a Buzz Lightyear costume. He hasn't taken it off since friends passed it down to him yesterday)
i started mine super late because i wanted to experiment with the crazy heat in the greenhouse. we have little watermelons right now,about the size of jawbreakers. i am dying to see how it all turns out. i think thye will end up about as big as yours because i waited too long. if i had done them back in june, they would have gone crazy in the greenhouse. they are the only thing really tolerating the heat in there.
ReplyDeleteI am finally back on line. Do you think the watermelons are the small individual ones?
