Growing Square Watermelons for $8

Step 5 Personalizing Your Melon

If you wanted to "brand" your watermelons you can tape something opaque like aluminum foil to the inside of the box. This will create a yellow spot on the melon rind in the shape of your initial or whatnot.

Another way to personalize the melon is to cut holes in the box to allow the watermelon to protrude. For example, you could cut a smiley face or anything that doesn't weaken the box too much. The watermelon won't grow into a design with details finer than about 1/2 inch. Also, If you use this personalization method, you'll have to dismantle the box to remove the watermelon.
