Ooops......look what I did!

Yesterday while I was at the plots, I picked up this little funny looking Moon & Stars watermelon to move it only a few inches.....and Ooops, it fell off the vine! It's small weighing only 2 lbs. 4 oz. I have no idea if it is ready. No, I have never grown watermelon before and I did not look at the tendrils. The bottom where it was lying on the ground is yellow.

So what do you think?

    Well, duh. It's not going to ripen any more, now that it's off the vine. Cut that sucker open and check it out! (Granny's keeping her fingers crossed for ya)

    Well, I got here too late I see.
    But the signs were all there-falls off the vine easily and yellow where it laid. Hope it's delicious!

    I hope it's ripe for you - at first I thought it was a green potato

    Well if you're waiting until this evening I hope you are chilling it so if it is ripe you can eat it nice and cold with a sprinkle of salt. Yum. That's how I like my watermelon.

    Don't you just hate when that happens. I'm dying to hear how it turned out? Is it the red or yellow variety? The rind is so pretty.
