They're small, but I successfully grew watermelons! I'm actually glad they're not huge. This first one was almost exactly a kilogram. It also didn't grow into a normal watermelon shape, but the other two look like they should and are about twice the size.
When I cut this one open, I was relieved to find it ripe. I have no idea how to tell when a green fruit has ripened. Despite its pale-ish flesh, it was plenty sweet and even had a sugar spot. It made three servings, about as much as I can eat before it loses too much water and sweetness.
What you might be able to see in the photo is how large the seeds are. They're actually normal seed size and it's just a small watermelon. Americans are so spoiled, I had forgotten that watermelons come with seeds.
I'll probably cut up the next one for work instead of hogging it for myself. Well, I'll probably eat quite a bit while I'm dicing it, but there should be enough left over to take.
