We were really late in planting our watermelons this year and I hope we can hold on until frost. We love Moon & Stars, an heirloom variety. It is similar to a Black Diamond watermelon, but it is spotted with small to very large yellow spots, hence the name.
We were running out of garden space so I started to trellis the vine. What occurred was a watermelon developing, hanging on for dear life. We devised a sling out of a pinon wood bag to hold it up until it was ready to pick.
Hold on, baby!
I think all of our melons will be ready at once and I hope they fully develop before frost. I see lots of watermelon rind pickles ready for the Thanksgiving table.
