Here it is October!
As most of you know, we have a pool. In order to level out the back yard, we had to have some grading done in the back yard. Besides my much talked about mud pit...we also have a LARGE pile of dirt. This pile of dirt is at least as tall as I am. and almost as big around as the pool!
Shortly after the pile appeared, we discovered a volunteer watermelon plant. The kids like to say it was from when we ate watermelons in the back yard, but truthfully, it was already growing when we had watermelon our one and only time in the back yard!
This vine has completely taken over the pile of dirt. About a month ago, hubby noticed there was actually a small watermelon growing. We have been wondering if it would ever last long enough to get ripe. So, we did what every responsible parent would do. We didn't tell the kids about it.
It has steadily kept growing. We checked on it about once a week. Hubby did everything he could do to hide it from the kids. (including discouraging them from playing in the back yard by not cutting the grass!) It was getting lots and lots of sun and growing like crazy!
A few days ago, we had decided that if we didn't get a cold spell it might actually ripen!
Today...Miss B decided to go into the back yard...with in 2 minutes she was bringing in this gigantic watermelon...unfortunately it is not ripe yet.
Now I guess we have to cut the grass in theback yard! LOL!
