Day 35 - Giant Leaves

It’s day 35. Not much to report. The magpies are being held at bay by Mr. Owl. In addition I placed small plastic snakes on each watermelon hill.

All five plants continue to grow and grow. The leaves are much larger than a normal watermelon plant. This picture has a quarter for reference. The leaves are about the size of my hands.

Soon I hope to see the flowers appear. There are still many bees in the area so I expect to get quick fertilization and formation of fruit.

Until then stand by.
