To my surprise, we found on our return that vigorous watermelon vines were threatening to take over the strawberries in the next bed. Two weeks of neglect was just what the sickly little plants had needed. Under the thick leaves, we located four baby watermelons. One of them eventually rotted. Another disappeared. But two just kept getting bigger. Against all odds, it seemed to me.
However, Vanoss points out that they are sitting in the pizza shop where Wildcat works, that Delirious works as a clown, and that he stands on street corners waving signs around all day with the sign saying Pooters instead of Hooters , asking Wildcat if he calls that life. Disappointing the group due to how much they went through, but in an attempt to reassure the group, Vanoss states that there are more adventures to be had.

The Magic Tomato
This is a tale of magic and deceit. A tale of a parent's deception and a child's willingness to believe. A tale of small miracles and large pieces of produce.
Once upon a time, when my oldest daughter was 3 years old, I lied to her. My motive was simple: I didn't want to hurt her feelings. But from my dishonesty, there sprang a myth, a family miracle involving tomatoes and cans of tuna.
One summer day, Nina picked a green tomato in the garden and was duly admonished. To remedy the situation, she put the tomato in an empty tuna can, watered it and placed the can on the back step. The tomato grew, not bigger and redder as Nina hoped, but increasingly smelly, mushy and small. I threw the rotten tomato into the compost pile and tossed the can into the recycling bin.
The next evening, during dinner, Nina suddenly remembered the tomato and decided to check on it. That's when I made my mistake. I should have said, "It stank, and I threw it out." Instead, acting on impulse, I darted into the kitchen, grabbed a ripe tomato and retrieved the can, reappearing moments later at the dinner table with a plump red orb bursting out of a six-ounce tuna can.
That night, a myth was born. No matter how many times I tried to set the record straight, Nina remained convinced that the one sure-fire method of turning a puny green fruit or vegetable into a prime, table-ready specimen was to put it outside in a little can and douse it with water. Truth was irrelevant; belief was all that mattered. She had, after all, witnessed The Miracle of the Tomato.
So I was relieved when, two years later, Nina entered kindergarten and learned the facts of a plant's life: First you plant the seed, then you water it, then it sprouts and so on until in the end an immense vegetable is ready for harvest, enough to feed a family for a week. To reinforce this optimistic message, the kindergartners performed a play, "The Enormous Turnip," in which a turnip grows so large that Farmer, Farmer's Wife, Sister, Brother, Dog, Cat, Rabbit and Mouse are all enlisted to pull it out of the ground.
The story of the enormous turnip is, of course, highly unrealistic. For one thing, who really cares enough about turnips to plant them, much less participate in the harvest? Nevertheless, I was grateful that Nina was being indoctrinated in the normal events of the growth cycle -- given optimal conditions and several applications of Miracle-Gro. Sure, the version she was learning was too good to be true, but at least the schoolteachers had left magic tuna cans out of their lesson plans.
Eventually, I thought, Nina would add real-life experience to her kindergarten lessons. She would learn, as I had, that gardening is full of disappointments. Zucchini flowers wilt on the vine, an entire packet of sunflower seeds yields a single flower, slugs eat all the strawberries. And gigantic vegetables like that turnip grow only in stories. She could learn theory at school; I would teach her practical reality in our own back yard.
Soon I had my chance. One spring evening, my family sat outside eating huge red slices of a watermelon that my husband had bought at the grocery store. Nina and her little sister practiced spitting out their seeds -- loudly, but not very far. Most of the seeds landed at their feet.
A few weeks later, Nina announced with a shout that she had found watermelon plants growing in our back yard, right where she had spat out her seeds. I was skeptical. I knew for a fact that you never get watermelon plants from store-bought watermelons.
But Nina was right. Curly-leafed vines were emerging through the grass. Nina and I transferred four of the plants to the garden, out of the lawn mower's reach. And I set about teaching her to be realistic about gardening. "We'll give it a try," I said. "But don't count on any watermelons."
Just as I expected, the transplanted watermelon plants looked awful. We watered; they wilted. We left on vacation; I expected their demise. I prepared Nina for the truth as I knew it: There would be no watermelons when we got home.
To my surprise, we found on our return that vigorous watermelon vines were threatening to take over the strawberries in the next bed. Two weeks of neglect was just what the sickly little plants had needed. Under the thick leaves, we located four baby watermelons. One of them eventually rotted. Another disappeared. But two just kept getting bigger. Against all odds, it seemed to me.
Bigger and bigger until, one evening in late summer, we picked the biggest one. First Nina tried to carry it, then her sister, but it was too heavy for them. Finally, I took a turn. As I carried the watermelon toward the waiting knife, I braced myself for disappointment -- the inevitable undeveloped, unripe center. (Alas, we had no cans big enough for a watermelon!)
Then I sliced. Oh, joy! Oh, utter lack of disappointment! The melon's center was deep pink. It was a beauty. Once again my family sat outside, eating slices, spitting seeds. After each girl had eaten two pieces, we put the leftover watermelon into the refrigerator for another day.
We didn't get much rain that summer, and my bean plants shriveled up. That was about what I expected. What I didn't expect was to learn that a 5-year-old girl can spit out a watermelon seed, watch the seed grow, and eventually harvest a watermelon so big she can't carry it.
It may seem like a fairytale, but there's no hocus-pocus involved, no sleight of hand, no magic tuna cans. Every once in a while, the sequence of events goes just right, from planting to sprouting to harvest, and the enormous watermelon feeds a family for a week, just like in a story.
