Water Melon Tree

My water melon tree has received a lot of attention. I dug a hole and secured a tall pole next to where I had planted a few water melon seeds. I drove nails spaced about 12 inches apart in a serpentine pattern going up the pole. As the water melon grows I am winding the melon onto the pole. It doesn't really do it by itself, but it does have some vine clingers that I wind around the nails. There are a few melons on the pole. Some doubters think the vine will break before the melons ripen. We will see!
