Seeds have sprouted...

Watermelon seed germinated...

Timothy brought home some Watermelon Seeds a couple of weeks ago... He got the packet from a friend at Warwick State High School. What a thoughtful boy, I must say...

So down to the hothouse we went to see if they would germinate for us... They are not failsafe so we can't really eat them. We can challenge on them I guess and will but the majority will probably be bartered with or sold if Timothy has his way. hehe

Well these little seeds just about jumped out of the soil. They germinated and popped through within 8 days. Pretty much a record. Considering we didn't know if they were even viable they are going great guns. Just waiting for the second lot of true leaves and they can go out :)

Timothy, needless to say is very happy. :)

Cheers Damaris
