How does one accidentally plant watermelons? Well, let me tell you.
So, to my admittedly inexperienced eyes, the seed-leaves of squash/gourd/melons look pretty similar. I was at a farmers' market, looking at a table full of squash/gourd seedlings. I wanted to buy zucchini. I was in a hurry, I was already loaded down with plants, and the day was getting increasingly hotter. The pack of seedlings labeled "Black Diamond" sounded like a lovely zucchini variety.
Except Black Diamond isn't a zucchini variety. I was mystified about what kind of plant it was. Internet searches for "black diamond" were incredibly unhelpful ("black diamond" appears to be a popular business name). "Black Diamond zucchini" didn't turn up anything, neither did "Black Diamond eggplant." Hmm.
I took a picture of one of the mystery plants. While looking at the picture, I kept thinking "Those leaves look familiar." (Now the plant has its "adult" leaves.) I wracked my memory banks, and an answer appeared. "No!" I thought, "I hope it's not a watermelon!"
Well, it is.
Here's a nice picture of a Black Diamond watermelon on its vine. Gurney's sells the seeds. Their description of it is pretty alarming. "25-30 foot circle"?!? Eek.
I have four of these plants. o.O
I don't even really like watermelon! But since I now have watermelon plants, I am intrigued by the idea of watermelon molds. Man, a Totoro-shaped watermelon - how awesome would that be! :D

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However just imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could certainly be one of the very best in its field. Amazing blog!
Please let me know if you're looking for a author for your blog. You have some really great posts and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested. Many thanks!
I do not know if it's just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your site. It seems like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen previously. Appreciate it

This domain is fabulous. I have read every article almost so far. I cant believe how contextual your posts actually are. I would like to meet with you. Please email me when you can. Much praise
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Good day. Very cool site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Wonderful .. I will bookmark your site and take the feeds also...I am happy to locate numerous helpful info right here in the post. Thank you for sharing...

The difference involving slick leading and a vinyl top rated is typically cosmetic. Unless ordered, the vinyl tops went on cars to hide the crappy seams joining the most notable along with the 1/4 panels. If the seam could be hidden with minimal filler it had been and went out sans vinyl, if not, it acquired a single, yet again this would not apply to cars ordered with a vinyl leading.
I like pizza but consider to not take in it substantially anymore (the 35 pounds I gained functioning in a Round Table in higher education remain with me). I will put in a very plug for Michael's Pizzeria on Naples in Very long Beach.

Its good as your other content : D, appreciate it for putting up. "A gift in season is a double favor to the needy." by Publilius Syrus.
I think not only of what you're referring to. Behind it there are many other factors
Oh, a great post! I have no clue how you wrote this text..it'd take me weeks. Well worth it though, I'd suspect. Have you considered selling ads on your blog?
Really nice blog… I dinn’t know that even we can play around with comments…
Interesting ideas you have, I hope they're able to be turned out to reality, simply because I do think they can hold water.

The three problems I see with this approach.
1) Not all AT supports ARIA yet
2) These days aren't grouped in any logical way which allows for improved comprehension
3) It's not clear it's been tested at all with Assistive Technology. Just because it should work (logically) doesn't mean that it does in practice.
Maybe we should go back to our founding fathers' $20.00 or more fine for non compliance. Print that on the form and envelope. This will get more participation then the mere 2% increases. Maybe even help balance the budget as long as congress don't get their grubby hands on it..
I've just been put in charge of planning our company's trade show activities for the coming year but I have no idea where to begin. This article made it all happen ... Thanks!

Free IPad3...Need tips and tricks?...
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
On the morning of September 11, 2001, my husband and I were driving west on the Belt Parkway heading to York College of Pennsylvania to see our daughter. She had injured her hand the night before, and we wanted to see her.My husband commented on the unusual, massive clouds of black smoke billowing in the sky. I turned to look over my shoulder and told him there was a tall building on fire. "That's the World Trade Center!" he gasped, turning on the radio. Newscasters were reporting that a plane had accidently hit the World Trade Center. Shortly thereafter they began debating a report that the second tower had been hit. When it was confirmed to be true, it was obvious this was no accident. Once on the Verrazano Bridge, we called our daughter. As we were speaking, the newscaster announced that a third plane had hit the Pentagon; and then we were disconnected.At the outerbridge crossing, all traffic was stopped, and no one was allowed over the bridge. We got off at the exit and eventually ended up at a school where we sat on the steps with others listening to a radio. We listened, as the screams over the airways reported each tower collapsing. We listened, as a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania. We listened. It was quiet. There was still no cell phone availability. I remember walking numbly to our car, bidding goodbye to strangers to whom we somehow felt connected, and saying "God Bless America." It seemed like the only thing to say.
Cumberbatch is intriguingly close to Comberbacke, the name Coleridge adopted during his brief, impulsive enlistment in the Army.
I am looking for a font called "France". Does anyone know where I might find it for download? Thanks. Steve
Having served on the Finance Committee of the Board from 95-97, I recall that the Board voted to change both the spending cap and the nature and balance of investment vehicles in the endowment portfolio at exactly the point on the graph where we depart most radically from our peer institutions. Both faculty members and both student members of the Finance committee abstained from voting on that proposal, as none of us supported those changes. Apparently, we had sounder fiscal foresight than the money managers on the Board at the time! Either that or those "alternative investments" really turned out to be dogs.
I found your own article really real and useful. We are new to this matter and your inputs work great. Hope I will be able to make use of them. I've put a small article on your article on my small blog. I know it would be very difficult for you to find time to visit my own blog, but if in any respect you feel like it and stop by, then give me your feedback.
