Last month when we were out in the garden I went hunting for watermelon. The vines grow so thick that the melons actually play hide and seek with us. :) My guy didn't think we had anything bigger than a marble at that point, but I knew better and found this baseball-sized melon.
Then I found a second melon even bigger than the first. Watermelon are very easy to grow here, but they will take over an entire garden (and a yard, for that matter) if you're not vigilant and control the vines.
Finally I found a third, which was the biggest of all. Since I'm six weeks ahead on the blog by the time this post these delicious treasures will be ready to harvest. :)*
*Update: Unfortunately all of our first crop of watermelon burst, probably due to excessive rain. We're now working on the second crop, which are the size of marbles as of today.
