Watermelon

[allensylves]

They make a vine with tiny leaves and fruits. The fruits are kind of hard crunchy and are fairly abundant. Unfortunately, they also get worms inside in maybe 20%, so you have to look carefully for holes. They grew fairly well for me, but really need to be up on support like I had them. The plants were not very long lived. I do not plan to grow them again. I think the scientific name is Melochia(?).
