First Watermelon

Here's the first of what looks like many watermelons. I'm just glad eveything is progressing well being it's my first time growing watermelon and from seed no less.

Looking good!

 

Thanks Netty

 

What variety is it ? I grow several,,Jubilee, Black Diamond, Tendersweet, and Desert King. I had a volunteer come up this year that I am saving seed from. Don`t know what it crossed with but has an excellent flavor in spite of all the rain and few seeds. We will see what they do next year. May be a good cross.

 

I have Icebox and Sangria planted together since they go all over not sure which one this is.

 

That is the icebox variety. It will stay dark green and round, the sangria will be oblong and striped. The bottoms of each will be yellow when ripe. Happy eating!

 

Thanks Carolyn

 

Ice box is less than 10 pounds and sangria 20-25#, I think.

 

That's a cute baby melon.

 

Well then I am very hopeful for my icebox...all blossoms and no melon yet....Yours looks very good!!!

 

Well as Watermelons go they also like to grow through the fence and in to the neighboring flower bed.
Looks like another icebox and maybe a sangria
