We planted this watermelon a bit too late in our tunnel house just to see how well watermelons would grow in the tunnel house because they hadn’t worked outside. We never expected a watermelon to grow and we knew it was unlikely that it would ripen before winter. I actually think it would’ve been okay but due to some massive heavy rain and corresponding flooding in the tunnel house I think that unfortunately the watermelon that was resting on the ground of the tunnel house got overly wet which meant it started to rot However we are very excited about as the fact that next spring we will be planting these babies and our tunnel house to get the most beautiful delicious watermelon for summer 25/26! #Watermelon #TunnelHouse #SummerFruit #LateSeason #NZGarden #Homesteading #Harvesting
