Progression of melon growth

These are pictures of one of ~8 melons I've spotted on my vines in the W.F. Lewis Garden, South Chelmsford. 
I'm finding it amazing to watch how quickly it's developing. 

July 20 First sighted

July 25 Just 3 days later (new moon growth spurt)


July 28


July 30




August 3 Close to full size





Aug. 6..sounding hollow when tapped. Stem is still green..waiting til stem stem browns and shrivels.

Anticipation as it gains full size and ripens.
