Christmas watermelon

It won't be long now before we get to try some home grown Christmas watermelon.  Its amazing how they grow so quickly.

Having said that, when I was watering this morning, I saw one twice the size, looking almost ready to pick.  The leaves have become so dense with the recent rains that unbelievably, a watermelon larger than a soccer ball was hiding there.  And there are more than a dozen smaller ones too.  Christmas will be sweet....
