Tag: Watemelon

I love watermelon!!!! Its just a beautiful thing to behold. Juicy, yet crunchy flesh, dotted with black and sometimes white imature seeds, encapsulated in a firm, beautifully patterned shell. If you drop them they seem to explode. The insides come in beautiful shades of pink and yellow......at least thats all I have seen. People pickle the rind....my chickens love to eat the fresh rind!!! And the taste!!!! Nothing else is like it!

I have never bought a watermelon as large as the BIGGIN' thats in the watermelon patch, much less grown one that large myself. Here are the pictures of all of the melons that are bigger than 3inches. They seem to swell overnight....everynight!!!

soaphouse	Jul 30, 2007 \| 9:51 AM PST congrats!!! that is so awesome and looks yummy! I have never grown a watermelon...how much space does the vine take?
FishinBC	Jul 30, 2007 \| 1:45 PM PST Yum! They look great Angel!!
AngelsGarden	Jul 30, 2007 \| 4:17 PM PST Thanks...it will be a nice treat in the hottest part of the summer that is coming up...August. soapHOUSE, I think the space that the vines are in is about a 12ft circle. I haven't measured though, thats just a guesstimate. It is full with just two vines.
quasar	Jul 30, 2007 \| 6:36 PM PST Fantastic!! How about shipping a couple of those North. You are so lucky to be down there in a zone that can grow mellons. I have tried a few times up here but without much success.
AngelsGarden	Jul 30, 2007 \| 7:18 PM PST Hey quasar, wouldn't that be nice if I could. I'm sure the shipping would be outrageous, LOL. Can you imagine the look on the postmans face? Its a watermelon...BE CARFUL WITH IT! When you picture that, remember I am in Louisiana. LOL I feel the same way though about people who have Rhubarb coming out of their ears. It makes me so sad that I can only get it from the store...thats certainly not the same. I grew up in Nebraska where we had Rhubarb and Gorgeous Peonys in the back yard. Sweet memories of being a little girl and sticking my nose down in those flowers, they were as big as my face.
