My 1st Watermelon

My grandmother is probably laughing really hard up in heaven.  For years, as a kid, I begged her not to pull my watermelon plants while she was weeding her flower bed.  She'd always pull them, because there were no watermelons, just weeds.  I decided to try again as an adult, so I bought a cheap pack of seeds.  I started the seeds indoors so that if anything grew in the pots, it would have to be a watermelon plant.  A few plants grew, and my son and I planted them outdoors.  I was so excited when I noticed a small actual watermelon, about the size of a gum ball, growing on the vine.  I had to take a picture, because I'm sure my grandmother will be laughing again when the deer eat my little melon.
