Right? The watermelon has pretty much taken over the front bed, creeping into every available space. I figure it’ll keep weeding to a minimum in that area, so I’ve been letting it spread. Had I thought ahead (as every story about my burgeoning gardening skills starts), I would have planted the melon closer to the house – I’ve been reading up about training melons up a trellis, simply creating pantyhose slings for the fruit, and it sounds so space efficient and clever. Maybe next year. The plant seems happy though, as we have lots of these little babies sprouting up all along the vine.
Awww….
Aw man, you’re giving me melon envy! Mine are still tiny, but I just love how fuzzy they are! Do you have a recipe lined up for watermelon sorbet yet?
