Garden Photo: Finally a Watermelon
September 18th, 2011
It was the first year that I’ve tried to grow watermelons and didn’t have much success this summer. We cut numerous melons in an attempt to find a ripe one, without much success. All the references indicate different strategies, but waiting seems to be the best advice! Here is a photo of one of the few ripe and delicious watermelons, picked just before the threat of frost warnings. Minnesota gardening has its challenges!
