Our first watermelon!
This is a heritage seed from Baker's Creek, the Moon and Stars Watermelon. They thought it was extinct at one time but discovered a farmer growing it and now it has grown in popularity. It is named after the yellow spots on the leaves and rind. I think the leaves are pretty and I am beyond excited for homegrown watermelon.

Even when melon is tiny, it is taking the full characteristic of a matured one with its color scheme, shape and tone. Very interesting and lets hope it will grow and ripe soon...
