Alert the media – I believe I have found a wild urban watermelon vine growing behind my house on the vacant lot that will eventually become townhouses. I know what you are thinking – given the rare nature of such a plant should they build on this site? What if the wild urban watermelon is endangered? Should we move forward with development and kill this prime specimen? Rally the troops – we must save this plant. As you can see in the second picture the vine is already producing fruit – not only does it exist but it is giving back. Do the wonders never cease?
Needless to say, I am denying all claims that I threw watermelon rinds behind the house and that it may be a semi-cultivated urban watermelon and not the true wild urban watermelon.
