Yup they were happy to see me again Bob.
I couldn’t keep up eating the greens. I spent most of Sunday and a couple hours last night and I got my water melon patch looking good again.
Found my first melons. Musk and water. I love watching them grow. They can grow expressively fast.

Nice looking melon patch, BJ! We grew a watermelon here in Wyoming once. My friends were impressed. Last year we got a couple to ripen. They were about the size of tennis balls, and there was about a tablespoon of red in each one. ;D Something tells me the climate here isn't quite right for them.

Went back to work on a couple hunt spots. Saw this guy a couple times now. He doesn’t seem too concerned about me so far.
A little four point I think

They do seem to like hotter weather than we get. I just like goofing around with them. I’ve actually had the best luck with just using the seeds from the big melons we get at the grocery store. The first time I successfully grew them it was by accident. My wife threw watermelon scraps in the garden. They came up by themselves. I didn’t even know what they were. They were loaded with blossoms. Then they got two tiny melons that grew really fast. They got about the size of the ones from the store. I didn’t know how to tell if they were rip so I just let them there for a long time. Then one evening I decided to pick one. It was very good. Picked the other one the next day. Then the plant got six more melons. It didn’t even put out any more blossoms. Those got close enough to rip that we ate them but they weren’t as good as the riper ones.
