Me too! What about in between? I check in here whenever I finish a task, before I start another. It's obsessive. I want to stop!
Thanks for wondering. Wondering is good. I feel a poem coming on
wonderment-
waiting for a watermelon
to ripen
I've got exactly one watermelon out there, which appeared suddenly just like a courgette, and I don't know how to tell if it's ripe.
Hahaha, love it!
I planted Petit Gris de Rennes melons this year and had a great harvest. You know they're ripe by the beautiful aroma.
I wrote that down for next year! I have soooo many seeds though. My daughter, who was a seed enthusiast but moved to Brooklyn NY, gave me her impressive collection.
I found a great video on how to tell when a melon is ripe. Can't find it again today, but you look at the tendril that is at the very top of the stem to the melon. When that is ALL brown, not even a tiny bit green at the bottom, the melon is ready.
