In the start of spring we planted a watermelon plant in the front flower garden. It was really just a test to see what it would do. I had very low expectations for the outcome of our watermelon crop. Not until about 2.5 weeks ago the plant really started to grow and then finally it put on a melon. I really dont expect it to ripen before our first frost but its fun to watch. It really grows in size fast.
4ish days ago. Melon1
same melon from about, pic taken this morning. Melon1
a new one i saw this morning. Melon2
I have started cutting off all of the new shoots of growth. Trying to make the melon plant focus on the fruit and not growing the leaves larger.
