I had a farm in Africa........thus begins one of my favorite
movies, Out of Africa. I have a farm in Fields! My dad gave
me 6 watermelon plants. I am determined to have
watermelons. 2 of the plants died, but I still have 4 and
they are flourishing. I have been adamant with watering
since it doesn't rain much lately. My dad tells me that I
should count 30 days after I see a melon sitting on the ground
until I will have a ripe melon. I am just beginning to spot
some less than an acorn size melons. Wish me luck!
This is what they looked like less than 3 weeks ago.
About a week later............
The latest...I can see growth almost daily. I keep having to
hoe out a bigger space for the runners.

Good luck Donna, I hope you get your watermelon this summer!! I will wish all the rain to your house...I don't like rain. I know we need it, but then everything gets soaked and messy (like now).
two of my watermelons are much bigger thand the others. Hope they will continue to grow.
