Carefully, and with lots of patience, I have managed to grow THIS...
It was not easy. I have learned how to do this from a famous teacher many years ago... You can all have a think about it, and the answer is in the second picture...
The question is, what is it?
After a hard days work, what can be better than a nice refreshing Watermelon!
No more, please, I'm full! I feel so refreshed!
The World's Smallest Watermelon, grown on Waiheke.
Watch the events listing for a possible workshop, so you can grow the same!

I bought the seedling at the market here where I live, and I complained to the person who sold it to me, saying I wanted my money back! (as a joke) And she said that it was a miniature watermelon, and that is how big it should get! So, if you ever buy a watermelon seedling, check that it is not a small variety.
Or maybe she was pulling my leg, I never did find out...

Aha, a little late in replying... sorry.
I did not keep the seed. I did not want anyone to go through the pain I went through to get such a small return!!
