Oh, so your fruit is watermellon shaped. I am so sorry. Records
indicate that all of those blow up before they get to 100 inches in
circumfrance. But good thing you have the round fruit. Those don't usually
blow up until 110 inches. The fruit that can last are the uglyest weirdest
shapes. If it is a shape you can't describe your doing well. Mine looks
like chubacca. Or kind of like Roseanne. Or an older heavier Rush
Limbaugh. Better luck next time. But I guess with all the other things
going wrong you should have expected this :)
