This year I planted a couple watermelon plants in my front flower bed. I was looking for a plant that would spread well and produce the occasional flower. I have pink and purple petunias and potato vine in that garden as well.
To my great wonder, the watermelon plant produced! Over the past two months I have tended to three growing watermelons. I have watered, put mulch under them and on colder evenings, I have run outside to cover them. I very proudly show off these babies to anyone willing to listen and admire.
Imagine my surprise when one day this week, while watering the biggest of my little watermelons, I discovered and equal sized fruit right beside it. How I, and anyone forced to view my little prides and joys, miss this this watermelon, I do not know?
I am grateful for this fourth fruit. I am even more grateful that my God does not overlook this prized fruit that He is so carefully tending.
