Stefan and I sort of gave up on the watermelon plants that Eddie planted for us 5 months ago. They sprouted and shriveled enough times that we gave up watering them and let them do their own thing (like get overgrown with weeds…). Lo and behold, a watermelon (sandia) has appeared!

I wonder if it’s because we have more bees pollinating our plants now? Or do watermelons take a while to establish themselves?
