Saw these little guys on the vine yesterday. Was surprised to see them actually. I didn't think that my watermelon vines were that healthy. The leaves usually tend to be larger. Either way I'll take what I can get. This poor guy was growing under the corner of the skateboard bed box and I guess a little too close. As you can see it has a nice dent in it. And growing a little deformed. Either way it still should be good to eat. The Japanese have come up with square watermelons by having them grow into square boxes or molds. I would like to try some more interesting shapes. Any ideas?
