Water Mellon in the Backyard
Water Mellon
This picture was taken a few years back. As usual I threw some seeds in the backyard and soon enough this fruit came up. But after that how ever much seeds I threw I never have managed to get another one.

Madame,
Nice melon!
After having analyzed satellite pictures of your backyard and geographical factors involved, this is the possible solution. When you first threw the seeds, there were fewer birds visiting your garden. The seed landed in the right spot and grew. Since then whenever you throw the seeds, the birds peck away at them, more so that water is also available nearby. You need to protect the seeds, since these are different from the mango ones.
If you are satisfied with the solution, kindly transfer the required amount in my Swiss account. Thank you!
It is something with soil, nothing wrong with the seeds or watering. Try using some green fertilizers like used tea leaves, skins of vegetables and fruits, mix it up with the soil. Results will be there :)
Any how, how was the fruit, I have grown, bitter gourd, pumpkin leaves, few other unconventional saags in my backyard. They were tasty.
How lucky you are! I think God has blest your hands :) hehe the watermelon looks yummy.. how was it to taste
Possibly because you didnt throw the other seeds out on a full-moon night and dance around it ? Think back, I'm sure you must've done that with the One That Grew! :)
Plants are the weirdest creatures, aren't they? They always keep us thinking we've cracked the code and then ... zilch! :(
Hobo it was a little over ripe when I plucked it but still yummy.
Right Mindspace two small patches of land.
Priyank now that you have said it surprisingly no!
Thank you Bindu that is an apt description.
Ramesh that picture is a few years old.
VS :D thanks for the laughs on a very tiring day.
Tarun I actually love throwing tea leaves, peels etc in the backyard!
Doli I let it become a little over ripe and yet it was very sweet.
Sunita mut have been that :D
Did the plants ever flower? I had pumpkin plants with enormous blossoms but never got any pumpkins because the flowers didn't get pollinated.
Steve, the second time around the seeds didn't sprout into a plant :(
Did you enjoyed the flowers?
