Watermelon

This is a picture of a watermelon plant I grew in my garden.

It was only about an inch tall when I bought it.

"The crops of the family prefer hot and humid weather as is found in the southern United States to dryer climates. The Cucurbitacea family contains many species and varieties of zucchini, squash, and pumpkins, cucumbers, and many other melons such as muskmelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew besides the hundreds of watermelon varieties available. So many varieties are available because of the ability of the cucurbits to cross-pollinate within the same species. "
