Nothing yet! She is still growing. Her plant sent out tons for fruits. My son took off all but 2 extras. Now, those are growing like animals!! His first is still packing it on! The middle of the plant looks almost dead, but the rest is all over the place and out the fence too! Been feeding every other day with seaweed, humic acid, and potassium with calcium included. This plant is crazy! Planted mustard all around it and it went wild into that patch also! What should I expect and when to cut the "big one". New to watermelon giants. Please help!

First year and my son's watermelon went 60 pounds! We are really happy and shocked to see it wasn't stolen. We lost one when two young people were witnessed breaking into our fence. Apparently, they had a lot of trouble lifting her and ended up bringing their car up to the fence. Nothing surprises me here in Aurora, IL.
