This would have been a beautiful winter melon, had it developed properly. See how nice and healthy the top of it looks? Instead, here it is masquerading as a comma.
Our winter melon seems more interested in looking like a punctuation mark than a fruit. For whatever reason, while the melon has kept growing, the bottom tip started turning yellow, and been shriveling up more and more. It looks like we have to harvest it now to try to save part of the melon.
