And hopefully it tasted as good as it looks. Watermelons are hard to judge for me. Sometimes they smell so good but then the taste is just "not there". Whatever the case, you grew it on a roof...how incredible is that? Did you see the Nat'l Geographic special about rooftop gardens? Nicely done.
beautiful harvest! and so nice to have sensible terrace-size watermelon instead of the 20-pound field grown monsters the commercial growers produce (or the zillion-pound competitively grown watermelons!).

ReplyDeleteLooks really good - well done!
ReplyDeleteWas it the best watermelon you ever ate?
ReplyDeleteIt was sweet, though not dripping with sugar,and very seedy. It was, however, the most anticipated watermelon ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd have you saved the seeds?
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to lick my screen! Enjoy.
