We have a few watermelons in our garden this year. Three weeks ago, it was a disappointment to find that an animal, probably a deer, had bitten a huge gash out of one. To remedy this problem, we covered them with chicken wire and have not had any more problems.
I have been growing watermelons this year and not knowing anything about how to or when to has been a learning experience. The first melon weighted 17 lbs, the second was 35 lbs.
Wow!! You did good!!
