Love gardening, especially succulents probably cause I can forget them for ages. South east Melbourne area. Always learning.

Citrullus Lanatus

Well it got some red in there. Our only melon the kids shared it. They said it tastes like melon a little bit, but I tried it and it's better than it looks. #watermelon #gyo

Looks like a monster face looking back at whoever is holding it. See it, big smile with sharp teeth and eyes. I’m not use to food looking back at me. Lol 😂

2 decent sized ones getting bigger and 2 smaller ones. I've tried to only leave one main watermelon on each plant since they don't have much room. Please ignore the grass I won't let my partner move it, as the little tendrils have a nice hold on the grass there. Lol #watermelon #gyo #potgrown #nomowingheredonthurtmyplant

I'm surprised any have grown at all. Lol not the same one as last pic but a few on there getting bigger. I did use someone's suggestion to paint brush the flowers but you know im happy ones got even this big. :) #sugarmelon #gyo #potgrown #rootbound

It was yourself @mehul22 who told me to paint it. :)

@mandajayne I think it was @akshat who told you to paint brush the flowers. 😊

So it was. I'm hopeless, wouldn't remember my head if not for it being stuck there. :)

Baby watermelon. I hope it gets big enough to eat. There's 4 in a pot and I'm pretty sure they are not going to have the room to grow properly. I can hope. :) #watermelon #gyo

Pollinate the female flower by the pollen from male flower to get a healthy fruit

You can use a paint brush for it or just simply pluck the male flower to pollinate them
