but the watermelon?
Everybody knows how delicious
the watermelon is but what do we
really know about these large fruits?
The watermelon is a vine plant
that produces large green fruits w ith
delicious red pulp. Related to the
pumpkin, squash, muskmelon, and
cucumber, the fruit is 93% water
and has a very refreshing, sweet
taste. The plant has a hard rind
completely filled with pulp that
turns red as the fruit ripens. Also
found in the pulp are seeds that may
bewshite, brow n,or black.
The vines may branch out 12 to
15 feet in all directions and produce
onlyafewfruits. W hat is lackingin
quantity, however, is made up in

20 and 35 pounds, and they often

They/could be round, oblong, or oval
and am be plain dark green, mottled
and striped green, or almost white.
The watermelon is a warm-
season crop, but can grow as far
northasCanada.Theseedsshould
not be planted until the heat of
summer has arrived. Sandy, moist
soils arc best for growing watermel-
ons. The vine blooms richly, how-
ever, only a few of the blossoms
produce melons. For best flavor,
the fruit should not be picked until
fully ripe. The fruits ripen within
80 to 90 days, depending on the
variety.
Be on the lookout for water-
melon stands like this one in Millett
(pictured) to have your share of this
summertime favorite and be sure
to read next week fora feature on
