A few years ago, I tried growing watermelons. I had one get to about the size of a softball, then the dogs we had at the time decided it woudl make a nice chew toy. So I never got anything that year. I decided to try again this year (now that I have space to plant!). The first set of seedlings I planted really havent done anything. So I decided to plant another batch. Its the 2nd batch that has taken off ( photo / image / picture from TheBip's Garden )
Fantastic!! This would have been a great year for me to try growing melons ... it has been a hot one!
