What can I say?  I am LOVING watermelon right now.  I am at the grocery store just around the corner nearly every other day picking up watermelon.  Hey, it's only 69 cents a pound right now and really quite sweet!  Speaking of sweet, I met the sweetest little lady there the other day who was picking out one for herself.  She was showing me how the more cracked ones are the ones to go for and are usually really ripe.  She also pointed out that I should look for less of the white around the rind.  Her advice has served me well over the last couple of days.

Lucky for me, Will is the only one who seems to want watermelon even half as much as I do.  I've been sharing my stash with him.  I am usually found snacking on it while making dinner because I need something to nibble on. 

I really can't wait for summer now….the fruit (I love most) only gets better!

    Candy: if you plant the seeds now, you might have a very good crop of watermelon by mid-July!!!!

    If you do decide to plant the seeds, make sure the plants have LOTS of room to grow. We grow melons of one sort or another in our garden every year and they take up a LOT of space.
