That would be perfect right now. It's summer in NYC today.#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 1, 2018 [SPOILER]
This is a family site! And here you are, displaying your melons! ;)#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Nov 1, 2018
Wish I had some right now. Love the puzzle.#4: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 1, 2018
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 1, 2018 [HINT]

Water you really up to? There's a pun in here somewhere, I know it...#7: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Nov 2, 2018 [SPOILER]
Oh my gosh, Aurelian. I was going to say, "Water you talking about? This is so a veggie pun!"#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Nov 2, 2018
(I'll just add this for good measure)...I'm sMELON a pun for sure in this puzzle!
I wish I had thought of those.#9: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 2, 2018
JoDeen, that's it! your "sMELON" pun is exactly what we needed! That's what belongs there. ^~^#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 2, 2018
I knew someone would come up with a pun or two or three. You guys are so clever.#11: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Nov 2, 2018
This puzzle was really fun to solve. Thanks, Brian.
When I first solved it, I made a mistake on my edge logic and went a long way before finally coming to a contradiction. I was worried that I might have to change it but then found my error.
Oh, and yes, I do solve my own puzzles and pretend I don't know what the solution is to see if it is solvable by logic alone. I make the puzzles I like to solve.
