Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life? My baby's growing up fast though. The first day I spotted him, he was bead-sized. Next time I checked on him, he was five times bigger! He must love all this rain we've been getting. After all, he is a "water" melon!

LOL Becky! Your plants are liking the rain and it's the opposite here. Our tomatoes are finally looking happy with the sunshine we've had recently.
Can't wait to hear how the flavor is when you harvest the little tyke? Is it seedless?

ME - I think the seed packet said "almost seedless", whatever that means.
Linda - The melon may be happy, but the tomatoes were not. Too much water plus too much heat is what caused all their cracking, and it dilutes the sugars with spoiled their flavor. So, I just cut them all way back, fed them, surrounded them with compost/mulch, and am waiting to see if they will produce a fall crop for me. Fingers crossed!
