I love watermelon. I think so far this year, we have had about 15 or 16 since they came into season.

Me too!! Nice to see someone else that does that. I get some weird looks when I salt mine but it sure enhances the flavor.

We had some growing in backyard til yesterday; deer got them...

Read this about melons:
But then you have melons.

Now melons are a real crowd pleaser when it comes to finding ‘the one’. Because not only do you have to go by color (beige/green) and texture (firm) but the biggest identifier of a good melon is the smell. The back end of a melon should smell just as the melon would taste- sweet, moist, and melon-y.

They are very good this year. Enjoy

If you're ever down in Georgia round about July and you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by. I can guarantee you're gonna have a ball learning how to do the Watermelon Crawl.

I took the advice of some folks on here and bought a couple Georgia watermelons today.
The first one was cut tonight and it is very good. Normally I don't have much luck picking watermelons.

Gentlemen thank you for eating GA watermelons!I don't grow them myself. They are grown locally her in south Georgia.

I wish GA would send some up this way, the last one I bought was bad enough that I ended up giving it to the chickens.
