Lisa, thank you. That's exactly what we thought.
The darn thing turned out to be a pumpkin. Sure looked like a watermelon on the vine, though...
Until we cut it, we would have bet money we had a watermelon
growing. When it started getting the yellow spots, we thought it needed some kind of fertilizer or something. I should have posted about it before we pulled and cut it and then maybe someone could have identified it and told us when to harvest and all that good stuff.
Thanks for not laughing too hard at the new gardeners!
