Starting to harvest the rest of the watermelons, gradually. Overall 3 were full size (for Blacktail Mountain), the rest are about half size. The first half-size that I harvested, today, was delicious!! Really red inside, and sweet and tasty.

GA: Watermelon (x1) harvested FOY
It was nice and big (as far as Blacktails go), so I decided today was the day. The little tendril at the vine joint was still green, but it lacked vibrancy, so it looked like it would be turning brown soon.
The inside was -- mostly green, some pink tinge, so I was disappointed at first. But, it was sweet and juicy, very nice! The seeds were fully edible / inoffensive.
There's another nice big one getting ready too -- that one I'll wait until the tendril turns brown, will see if that makes any difference in pinkness.
And a few others that are growing too.

GA: Watermelon harvested! Delicious!
It wasn't huge -- the size of a large grapefruit -- but it was tasty! There were quite a few seeds, but they were very edible too -- crunchy and inoffensive.
I had waited until the tendrils at the top where it connected to the vine had dried all up. The stem itself was a bit dehydrated but not brown. And it was perfectly ripe.
One more awaits harvesting.
