BTW I just compared it to one purchased at the store and its about 80% the size of that one. My guess is sometime early next week this will be ready Smile

A few weeks if it gets bigger than the one at the store. Its only at 54 days!

Edit
Official measurement store = 21"
Measurement 5/30 = 18.25"

Very nice, I grow them in my neghbour's field (sshhhh), so I've never quite imagined it in the container. But nice work you've done... Wink

Hehe yeah I was thinking of taking some seeds someplace remote. I've noticed in the park where we walk the dog during the weekends the area loves vines. They are all over the place in the places they do not mow/etc.

I did lose the second watermelon it never got over the size of a golf ball and started shriveling.

6/7 size update
20.75" about 78% of a soccer ball
Probably not getting much bigger the vines/leafs are starting to look old like they only have a few weeks left in them max. Can probably still pass the size of the one from the store Smile

Can't weigh it my food scale only goes to 5.5lbs and its past that.
