The varietal is called "Sugar Baby" and the tag on the seedling said to harvest July to August.

At mid-September I figure I'd better try it out before the squirrels crack the defenses.

We have a third fruit which had a few bites out of it, but I'd left it in place as a sacrificial. I cut it open this morning, and it's certainly past its prime. But a certain amount of its softness seemed from the open wound.

I've been worried about our #watermelons as I've managed to protect two fruit on the vine from the squirrels and skunks, but while I think we're past normal #watermelon harvest season, they haven't looked ripe yet.

We'd never been able to grow them before but having good luck this time. Using all the ripeness tests has been inconclusive. Yellow spot on bottom, brown tendrils, rind gone dull, hollow sound, date? Hit and miss on those tests.

Going to open one up…

#BangorME - Limited space can’t stop Bangor’s #UrbanGardeners from growing their own food

"Bangor may not seem like a place to grow a '#FoodParadise,'but Travis Gagnon’s experience proves otherwise.

"He’s interested in #SelfSufficiency, and limited space at his apartment hasn’t stopped him from raising an explosion of crops along the walkway to his ground floor apartment, from #watermelons to #wheat. Gagnon isn’t alone; many people in Bangor and #BrewerME are producing food and supporting #pollinators in small spaces.

"Though city growing presents some unique obstacles — such as soil that may be poor, limited light and small yards — Bangor-area growers are overcoming them and even finding things they prefer about growing in an urban environment.

"Twelve such gardeners are opening their yards to the public and will be on hand to answer questions on Saturday, Aug. 2 for an annual urban garden tour organized by #FoodAndMedicine, a Brewer-based organization working to address the root causes of poverty.

"The tour aims to show how anyone can start growing their own food no matter where they live, according to organizers.

"The Bangor Daily News asked participating gardeners how they grow in the city, what they’ve learned and what they enjoy."
