PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — A Florida woman made an odd yet refreshing find in one of the trees in her backyard — a watermelon.
Mariko Thayer has a green thumb, growing lemons, tangerines and pineapples in her yard, WJHG reported.
“I’ve never seen it before, the first time,” Thayer said. “It’s like I’m dreaming, I’ve never seen this. So I thought, ‘Oh no, are you kidding me?’”
In the past she had even grown watermelons, but on the ground.
Thayer thinks there are more behind the first watermelon she saw. She is unsure how she will harvest them because of the height of the tree, but hopes the next watermelons that grow in her backyard will be on the ground.
