Watermelon Surprise

Last spring, Ron planted three watermelon plants by the raspberries and I planted three in the back garden.  They were all supposed to be the little Sugar Babies (or is the name Sugar Daddy?  No?).  Anyway, We were amazed when those in the back garden proved to be the big, long kind.  And, while the extra hot summer days have been unkind to many of our plants, the watermelon plants evidently liked them.  We have never grown such a big watermelon in Preston, and there are a whole lot more out there.  I suspect that watermelons are easier to share than zucchini at this time of year.

Awesome! That should make the whole summer feel worthwhile. May you truly enjoy the "fruits" of your labors.

Ron wasn't kidding that it was a "big" watermelon he harvested. Did the two of you eat it all in one day? Yummmm.
