Isn't it a beauty? Bigger than any of the ones I grew last year, and still growing! I didn't have a hand in planting it, however, I was just smart enough to let it grow. Ma Nature decided to seed this watermelon next to the driveway and remind me who's really the top gardener around here. (As if I could forget!)
In the end, I still win--I will get to enjoy its deliciousness in a few weeks. :)

What a beauty. Makes my mouth water just looking at it. :) Lucky you. Is this results from a seed spitting contest?? You won none the less.
LOL! It is amazing sometimes where they will grow and surprise us. I planted cosmos seeds in a bed and none came up. But this huge cosmos came up by itself right in the middle of the pathway in everyone's way. LOL!Now we are squeezing around it. I would have liked the watermelon though. Love the things.
What??!! This was a volunteer??!! What a lucky break! You are really going to enjoy this surprise..!
I can't wait to hear how that one tastes.
what is you address? lol
A volunteer watermelon! That makes it twice as sweet. :)))
Looks tasty! Seems like volunteers often grow better than intentionals...kinda like mutts are the best dogs? :)
Congratulations on your hind sight to let that little fellow go forth and prosper. Hope you're not disappointed with the taste.
two thumbs up for when wisdom helps us to think well. May you have much joy when it ripens
That's a great looking watermelon. Nature is smarter then me, too. I have tomatoes coming up in several containers! Gotta love compost. gail
You have to love the unexpected - and reap the rewards. Great post.
