Dan decided that today was the final day of life for our sad looking watermelon plant on the deck. None of the watermelons had gotten over a 1/4 of an inch wide before dying and now it looked like the whole plant was dying. Dan started to rip out the plant but one of the tendrils that ran back behind the orange tree (yes .... we have a dwarf orange tree on our deck) wouldn't budge. He figured it had just grown under the pot so he moved it to the side and lo' and behold we have a watermelon! It is just about the most misshapen watermelon you've ever seen but it still tasted amazing.
