| Watermelon plant has been growing strong and just started producing fruit. However, I notice that the fruit is being destroyed by something. Any ideas what this is, and how to fix it? |

| For starters it is not a watermelon. You may get more assistance in the vegetable forum. your plant is a Cucumis melo not a Citrullus lanatus. Both will be marketed under vegetables. If you have slugs, that would be my first guess. |

| Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering about the cucumis melo actually, thanks for the clarification! We planted both but there was a mix up in the process. How do I know if I have slugs? I have never seen them around before. |
