This is the first year that our watermelon actually was harvestable! I plant it every year with high hopes. This year I planted some Charleston gray and they were wonderful. I usually plant a smaller variety because I thought our growing season was too short for a larger variety.
I was a little hesitant about pulling them off the vine because...how do you know when they are ripe? I watched a lot of youtube video's in hopes of becoming more educated. I heard that Carola harvested hers and so I figured I should do mine. I am such a copy cat. The largest one measured about nineteen inches long, while the second was about thirteen.
Both of the watermelon were delicious! Yeah me! Our cantaloupe is very tasty also. I have too many cherry tomatoes so give me a yell if anyone wants some. I wonder about the corn. I picked two ears that looked ready. They are both quite small and the rest of the corn doesn't look great. Rats. That is my favorite part of growing a garden.
