Love this sweet plant!
Beautiful big pot of watermelons! Shipped fast, packaged well (just some loose dirt & a couple little broken pieces (to propagate🙂). Excellent customer service.. Leslie kept an eye on my weather (Western NY, so very sporadic) and held onto my order more than once! Was worth the wait...I love all 3 plants I got, would definitely recommend, and I'll be back!
