Watermelon


Ok so this has nothing to do with cooking. A while back with one of my watermelons from the CSA (or maybe it was the farmer's market now I can't remember where the seed came from) I thought it would be funny to plant a watermelon seed. It really was entirely to late too plant watermelon (note I don't really know when you are supposed to plant watermelon) but I thought it would be cool to see if it would grow. Sure enough just a few days after planting up came a nice little watermelon plant. Then came a watermelon. This picture was taken September 12 and it's at least double this now. I will have to try to remember to take a more current picture. I am not sure if it will grow to full size before the frost gets it or not. This is one of the smaller round ones so I think it might but we will have to see.
