Watermelon Update – 1 month

Grow, Baby Grow!
Back on July 2, Patti noted that our watermelon plant was quite small. We’ve had a few hot spells since then which resulted in our first watermelon. Here it is next to a tennis ball. There are a few other tiny ones on the vine but much depends on whether we will get the required hot weather – melons grow best in hot sunny weather.
Last year, we grew a seeded variety – from two vines we got about 8 watermelons with the largest weighing in at 37 pounds…we had a lot of watermelon!
Most folks agree that seeded melons have more flavor; nevertheless, the watermelon variety we chose this year is the seedless Sugar Baby. We wanted a smaller melon and the convenience of seedless. We’ll see which we like better.
