Watermelons In September?

I admit it.


Late July was NOT the time to buy watermelon starts at the local nursery and think I could actually get results this growing season... 


But I WANT watermelons. I had almost given up, until this morning:

Our September watermelons. Notice the one on the right climbing the air conditioner...

YES! There may be a juicy melon yet! 


Hopefully we will have a few more weeks of warm weather to mature them.


Repeat after me: I will plant watermelons early next year, I will plant watermelons early next year..."
