our ones looked just like a mottled green watermelon, and nearly the same size. Extremely beautiful

Will have to get ower Tone to make a handy angle structure for the monster. If I grow it again  will grow it under the sycamore at the top of our plot and let it have it's head

Agree, about watermelon sized......the closest I've got to being successful with melons! White flesh, and the seeds should be completely black if you want to save some, I found it difficult to judge when they were ripe; if in doubt leave longer!
