What lovely watermelons. :P :wink:
They look brilliant, how are they holding up, any soggy spots? I can't wait to get mine home safely.

No soggy spots as the slabs drain the water away nicely. I did leave a small one to grow natures way but that one did become brown and soggy but he was just an experiment in the growing process. :D

I don't know why they have got the watermelon look as all the seeds were Atlantic giants and were saved from last years crop. Hmm some cross pollination ???

They probably just haven't had the weather to ripen them. It makes no difference to me what colour they are, infact they would look great with monsters and swamp creatures carved on them.
