First watermelon

Japanese watermelons tend to range from expensive upwards. The prefecture is renowned for its crop and production methods. Warned off previously, because of the sprawling vines; this year with a bit more space, a young plant was transferred amongst the kabocha. Not looking to win awards, I’m content just to grow a couple and felt rather excited to spot the first swelling. After taking a photo, dry grass was laid on top of the ground as bedding. It should prevent an excess of weeds and keep the melons clean.
