Watermelons: 12kg Monster

Our experiments in watermelons have been mixed success. Some end up of good size and absolutely delicious to eat. Nothing beats homegrown for flavour I can tell you! More than half end up attacked by local wildlife and end up as chook food but this monster self volunteered at the sandy garden at the end of the chicken coop. It weighed in at a hefty 12kg once we picked it and is rock solid full of goodness. We are too busy admiring it at the moment to eat it but intend to feast up its gooey red internals on the weekend. Slurp!

Watermelons: A new year surprise

Well the rains have certainly kick started a few dry patches (not to mention the grass). We have discovered new watermelons amongst old vines we thought exhausted. Our boys love watermelons so volunteer melons are always welcome. They are fully seeded watermelons and taste great compared to the store bought ones. Each successful melon provides a plethora of seeds for more crops as well. Ahhh...isn't nature just wonderful.
