Watermelon lover
« on: April 30, 2020, 08:55:53 pm »
I went to the store a few days ago and found a watermelon that was extremely sweet.  I am now looking forward to summer when I will be able to find it everywhere for less money.  What is your favorite summer fruit?

I love watermelon too and have been happy to pay $3 for a personal size treat, but my all time favorite is  Hood Strawberries grown only in Oregon and available for a very short time and best when spring showers are followed by warm sunny days. I gladly pay over $3 for a one pint box of them. It helps me understand how I can eat the glorious looking California varieties that show up early in the summer that look grand in a photograph, but taste like straw indeed.

I would love to find a good sweet watermelon.  I love watermelon in the summer because it is so refreshing and tastes so good.

Only thing is when you buy one you don't know what it will taste like. Unless you cut it open in the store. And they would probably frown on that. lol  Usually we have a big trailer from another state parked in random parking lots selling watermelons.

I love watermelon also, especially when it is cold and sweet; love when it is in season.

I would think it is watermelon.  It is hard to find a good one.  I also was lucky enough to get one with great taste.  I am in the middle of making pickling the rind.

I enjoy a good tasting watermelon as well but my absolute favorite fruit are peaches! Thankful that their are some health benefits to eating them...they are good for the digestion, can boost your immune system and also help with weight management.

This is a good time for watermellon. Was taught years ago if you flick the water mellon and here and there and if it sounds hallow inside  its usually ripe and usually sweet. Easy quick tip thats been pretty full proof my entire life

Watermelon is by far my favorite summer fruit! When you find that just right watermelon, crisp and sweet, then you've really got a prize! I also love fresh-grown tomatoes and cucumbers in the summer. They taste so much better than they do during the rest of the year. My grandpa used to have a beautiful tomato garden. He would pick a big juicy tomato off of the vine, wash it off with the garden hose, and then eat it like an apple!  :peace: :heart:

I love watermelons also, but they never taste as good your own home grown ones.  I would love to find a yellow meat watermelon, they are so delicious.  Too bad the stores charge too damn much to buy one.

I love watermelon and actually saw in the store sale papers that they are starting to sell them.  $3.88 for a whole one but I really don't mind paying for since I love all fruit.
