This is the first water melon that I notice its appearance on end July, already a 5 inches long fruit. Now its tendril turned brown and dry, together with the length of time it has set as fruit, indicated that it is ready to consume.
A disappointment that it is not red enough, but the sweetness is there, being crunchy and not sandy like a fully ripe water melon. Still very pleasant to eat with the eyes shut.
For the remaining water melons, I will let them have at least 8 to 10 weeks of growth together with the tendril turning brown, before I taste them.
