I have a vegetable garden ([livejournal.com profile] 1crowdedhour kindly came over and watered our tomatoes while we were on vacation). One of the things I'd tried for the first time this year was watermelons. I tried the Square Foot Gardening method, where you train the vines up on strings, and I had set up a rather hilarious but certainly functional sling for the burgeoning watermelons, made of pantyhose. Yes, pantyhose. One pair of pantyhose to support each melon, and it was fun to watch them grow bigger and bigger.

Until today. I got home from work to find the pantyhose dangling limply from the frames. At first, I thought they'd slipped out of the slings and had fallen to the ground, but no. I searched around the ground. No watermelons.

Some nameless jerk walked into my garden, broke the watermelons off the vines (there were three of them) and took off with them. They weren't even ripe yet.

I don't think I should even say publically say what I hope happens to this person. It's probably unprintable.
