Watermelon

This is the first time, ever, that I have grown watermelon.  Wow am I glad I did!  This was truly the juiciest, sweetest, reddest watermelon I have ever had.  I even started the seeds late about four to six weeks ago in this horrible heat.  I purchased these seeds from Park Seed and I wish they were heirloom, but they are a hybrid.  They are called "Charleston Jr. Hybrid".  The Catalog says, " These small 12-16 lb. melons boast seedless red flesh, uniform light green flesh, and a flavor that combines the sweet and the crisp perfectly.  Super high yeilds make this watermelon a favorite!"  They are 100 % accurate on all counts, as you can see in this picture!  In addition, there have been no pest or disease problems whatsoever.  I will put these on my list for next years seed purchase.  But I will also try to find a comparable heirloom replacement to grow.   I believe it's vital that we promote raising vegetables, not just in the most natural ways possible, but also preserve varieties for our welfare of health and well-being.  I am comforted by the thought of growing something, collecting it's seeds, passing them on to others and having generations of vegetables, year after year, that I have cultivated from one seed.  No that's what I call sustainable living!

Ok, I'm not hungry, but, I sure am drooling! I can just feel the watermelon juice running off of my chin.
