I can taste it already

Oh yeah. Patience, Patience!!! It'll be even sweeter!

Hey Grandpa Bob! I think that is so cool that you were able to grow watermelons! I can't wait to hear how delicious they taste and I know how you can't wait to taste it too! I guess the longer you wait the better it will taste! It sure has grown alot! It really is amazing how you watched it grow from a little thing to the size it is now! You really have a green thumb!

That looks good enough to eat. You need to guard that thing, I might find myself in your neigborhood and it might disappear. Isn't it fun to grow food, and the fruit and vegies that are homegrown are always the best. The tomatoes this year are so yummy. I have been eating lots of tomatoes and cucs, I am going to miss fresh vegies from the garden. Remember guard that watermelon. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I would of had watermelon by now as well if the dang deer didn't eat my seedling. -sighs- Anyways, glad to see your watermelon is turning out so fine, Grandpa Bob. Take a look at my one cob of sweet corn. Has any of yours ever grew so small before? lol Fully formed and was the best tasting out of them all.

There is nothing like homegrown produce. It just tastes so much better than the vegetables you get at the store, I think because they have been bred for taste rather than being tough for shipping. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you deserve it.

Oh what a beautiful melon! I never really did catch the knack for telling when a water melon is truly ripe, although it is easy with cantaloupe and musk melons. I love them all! I like to mix them, add some strawberries and blueberries, and serve it that way. Or...they are just plain delicious on their own. Nothing better! Karen

That's the way I do my tomatoes. :) I watch and watch and have to make myself not pick them just yet, waiting for the perfect time. My mouth waters when I go to the garden.

Oh that photo looks wonderful. I would love to slice it up right now and eat it. I love fresh watermelon. To answer your question, yes, I have grown something as big and large as your watermelon. I have grown watermelons myself. Also pumpkins that have gotten very large. Sometimes I swear the zuccuhni's are so large they are at least that many pounds. Those large ones are best used and baked in zuccuhni boats.....yummy.

That is wonderful. I love watermelon. I feel the same way with green onions and tomatoes too. We are having a rough time this year in Indiana with watermelon growth. We had alot of water that caused alot of flooding which haulted the growth.

I have now met two myLot friends and because you live so far away it gives me doubt that we will ever meet, but I must say I can only imagine what your entire garden looks like. You're right I too can taste it. You made me hungry for corn done on the grill as well. I have never heard of this till the first time you mentioned it. My husband used to do all the BBG so after he left I no longer have a bbq. I would think if I got a small one I should be able to learn how to operate it. Thanks for all your gardening photos and stuff.

Oh wow...it seems only yesterday you were posting pics of a watermelon and it was "baby" sized...really grew fast there. Hey can you send us mylotters a watermelon?

Hello Grandpa Bob. It is good that your watermelon can be tasted now. Well, as I live in the city with no garden, we buy watermelons when we finish one during the summer. All of my family love watermelon a lot as it helps a lot to relieve the thirsty. It is an excellent fruit in summer. I wish you to get fruitful melons. Good luck.

I think I'm going to have to wait a very long time for my watermelon. It is only about 3/4 inch long! -- and by "it", I mean one melon that I can find so far. I don't think it is going to make it to edible size. :-( If the nights get much colder, I'll have to cover it with a thimble or something at night! ha, ha

oh wow thats looking great, well done! I am unable to grow anything as I have no garden to my apartment, I am trying to work out what I can grow just outside the door or indoors - I am already doing some herbs. I would love a garden! I grew up with my Dad having a huge veggie garden, and ,y brother and I had our own patch each - I remember growing some strawberries I was quite proud of as a 6 year old! Keep up the good work!

I can KILL anything growing, so no, haven't managed it
