I havent been posting anything in along time,I must be having some bad luck this year,I grew a couple watermelon plants this year and ended up with this watermelon my daughter is sitting by, this watermelon weighed 75 pounds, my personal best, I will try harder next year, to break my record,this watermelon grew close to the stump,I couldnt get another to set out farther,so I left this one grow.
