One day back in April, I received a little growing kit for a
watermelon. While I very much enjoy
eating watermelon, I had never even thought of planting one. Especially given that I am currently limited
to potted solutions.
In any event, the kit indicated it was intended for ages 3+
(it is after all called the Jiffy Cup for Kids!),
so I figured this could either go really well….or fail miserably!! I planted the seed in the little cup and soil
provided, perched it on a floating shelf in front of the sunniest window I have, and let it do its thing. To my surprise,
a few short days later, I actually had a little sprout.
Jump ahead a few months and that little seedling has started
growing baby watermelons!
The experiment continues and hopefully the little green
striped baby melons will turn into mega ones :). In case of success, I’ve got some garden trellis netting ready and
waiting to help support the load!
Super easy. Definitely
worth a go!
Enjoy!
I wanna scoop them up and eat em yum.
