Cute little guy....Has grown a lot bigger since I took this photo. Nearly double the size in fact. That's still a pretty small watermelon though.
The seeds were planted back in July and the vine has been growing ever since. At first the cottontails nibbled at it and broke off parts here and there. When I went to go check on the garden after an extended trip I hadn't expected to find much beyond happy green onion plants. They always seem to do well. There is another melon growing that is now about half the size of the large one and two itty bitty ones trying to start out. I doubt they will make it before the first frost and the end of the growing season. If they do make it of course I won't be upset.
The plumeria is the only other plant out there that I'm keeping a sharp watch on. Wanting to see if it will make any flowers this year. Last year I had it in a bit of shade and it made a few flowers. This year it was in full sun plus a bit shining off of the green house. It made no flowers but the heat I'm sure was part of that.
I need to be out gardening more I think and getting some fall/winter plants going. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
