Anyway, yesterday morning was cool enough to get outside and pull some weeds, trim some over grown shrubs, and mow the lawn. I was pulling weeds when I noticed some wildly growing vine, that I was sure was a weed that would soon be taking over the yard!
I asked Kelly if he could come figure out where it was growing from so he could pull it out. After he rummaged through it for a bit, he called me back over, and said "come look at this!"
So it wasn't a wild weed growing! Just a wild watermelon plant growing! Kelly then remembered that months ago, after eating a slice of watermelon, he threw some seeds in the flower bed.
I don't know if it will taste any good, but we have successfully (although unknowingly) grown our first watermelon!

Congratulations on your first!! When you told me about your watermelon I pictured a litte cantalope sized melon, but that is a good size. You should open up a produce market : )
I LOVE simple pleasures:) What a great surprise.
that is awesome! love the simple every day joys
What a pleasant surprise! If you can do it by accident, maybe I can do it on purpose. :)
Ha ha ha! Hilarious!
That is crazy! I can't believe it to take the heat. Was it red inside? After much nourishment & perfect temps, ours were always white & yucky.
A WATERMELLON GOOD GOING. THAT WAS SO GREAT!! IT DOES HAVE A PRETTY LEAF TOO.
That is awesome! I love the pic.
Wow you really did grow a watermelon and we tried and all we got was a long yellow vine and a little shriveled up bulb. Sad huh!
