It was the one that came to life from spitting seeds off the front porch.
It grew and grew and became a large watermelon.
We cut it off a few days ago.

We held our breath as my husband cut into it. Would it be any good?
What do your think?
Not bad . Not bad at all.
Yum! That looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to call plants we didn't actually plant - volunteers. Did you ever hear that?
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a watermelon you didn't expect.
Enjoy.
Yes, Barbara, we called them volunteers, too. We always have volunteer tomato plants every year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing, Janet!!! Just like a treasure hunt you hadn't planned!
ReplyDeleteI really didn't think it would get mature,but it sure did..and we call them volunteers to
ReplyDeleteJanet, my absolutely favorite fruit to eat--watermelon. This one looks wonderful, so red and looks like great texture. Was it sweet?
ReplyDeleteAmy
That looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteNot too bad for a volunteer.
We always have so many volunteer cherry tomato plants that it drives me crazy! Nice watermelon and it looks delish!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! It turned out really well. We had a few volunteer gords near our porch this year.
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy! My volunteer watermelon was better than any of the ones I grew on purpose-and a whole lot easier too : )
ReplyDeleteA perfect watermelon. This reminds me of my Mom's last summer. She watched 2 volunteer watermelon's grow all summer. Everytime I went to her house, we checked their progress. She cut one and we shared it on the back porch on one visit. This is one of my favorite last memories of her. I think of her sometimes, maybe walking through her garden in heaven, it brought her such great joy!
