finally we get to eat some....

[MontyJ]

yes i could send everyone a melon through " ups", but all your going to get is a yellow messy wet box... with that said.... no delivery..
so it's first come first served, @MontyJ could have been the first BUT NO @dewdropsinwv had his chip programed to come home right away....

LMAO!!!

Sorry, but not much of a melon fan myself.

They're so pretty! I bet they do taste good. I figure just about any watermelon variety would have split with all of this rain.

Lets see Major...you're sitting there eating a sweet ripe juicy yellow watermelon, but hankering for a Crimson Sweet? That's from all of us melon challenged folks!

I don't plant watermelons anymore, but received some Charleston Gray seeds from a gardener up north who says they produce great for him so maybe next year.
I actually did start some this year, but hardened them off a little too extremely.
oopsie.

LOL, been there, done that!

LMAO @majorcatfish hey that programmed chip only works when HE really WANTS it to. I told him he could stop if he wanted to. But I on the other hand do like watermellon.

 

[so lucky]

With the luck I usually have growing watermelon, I am happy to get mine at the grocery store. But they are very good this year, so no complaints there. In fact, I just took half a watermelon out of the fridge just before I sat down and opened the computer to check on TEG. I can't decide whether to eat that, or some of the left over home made ice cream I made on the 4th. I made it with half maple syrup, half sugar, and raw whole milk (so no gastric upset), so I feel justified in eating it till I pop.
I think watermelon first, then ice cream for dessert.

I am SO jealous. I'm on my 3rd planting of watermelons trying to get some up.

Congrats!!! Those are great!!! My best attempt at watermelons grew to softball sized at best.

Any home garden grown watermelon is a winner in my book.

any home grown fruit or vegetable is so much better, because the home gardener put they heart and soul into growing it...

And the first requirement of commercial growers is "Will it ship?".
