| I am growing watermelons on my raised beds and the entire area is fenced with welded wire. So I looked at my watermelons I pollinated and they are the size of a thumb. One of them that was beside the fence had something that looks like claw marks on them, I'm guessing a ground hog or squirrel tried reaching in to grab it but they couldn't. The claw marks are about 1/4 the way into the watermelon probably going past the white rind. This is my first time growing watermelons, so I'm wondering if I should I just cut the watermelon off or are they able to recover from it? |

| Leave it and see what happens. It might scar over and you'll have most of an edible watermelon. OR ... it might rot. Report back on what happens so we can give better advice next time. |
