Excited! Disappointed...


The watermelon starts Claui gave me have made watermelons!

But though this one got the thump test and seemed ripe-- it wasn't. Not quite. Still edible, even tasty, but not as sweet as it might have been. 

We'll wait a bit on the others. . .

Oh how nice, to grow your own watermellons. Yep, the thump test should be a gauge of ripeness. Have a good day!

I've been told to look for a well-developed "ground spot" before thumping.

It had a good ground spot -- ad I'm enjoying eating the melon, even in its underripe state.

Aww. Well, you can't win 'em all.
