I feel more than a little surprised that the watermelon plants that I bought in Santa Fe - just an inch or so tall - and that I transplanted to Los Angeles because they were flowering, and pretty - are now - yes - apparently growing little watermelons. I don't know why this should be so improbable - I mean, watermelons have to grow somewhere. And I'm very fond of watermelons. Only another - say - 30 days, judging by the gardening sites that I've consulted. and I'm sure, wandering over our front yard, that they probably won't grow to real edible maturity. I'm sure they probably won't grow to real edible maturity (hello, raccoons?) - but we'll see. Meanwhile, they offer much miniature prettiness.
