No, but man she was homely. Would that make her the husband in a marriage with Todd's sister? |

When I was in East Texas for mom's funeral, I bought myself 2 Grapeland watermelons and brought them home with me. We have those shitty Mexican watermelons down here, and it sure was good to eat a sweet, seeded melon for a change.

We have those shitty Mexican watermelons down here, and it sure was good to eat a sweet, seeded melon for a change. I grow the Crimson Sweet variety of watermelon on my place. It is the sweetest, juiciest melon I’ve ever tasted. They typically weigh 25 pounds +/- at maturity. Biggest one I’ve ever grown weighed 42 pounds. |

Sounds great. I'd hoped to find a yellow meat watermelon up there, too, since they don't really exist down here. Didn't find any though.

My 9 year old grandson saw a yellow meat watermelon plant at Lowes this year and asked if he could buy it and plant it in our garden. So I have one yellow meat watermelon plant in my garden. There is one melon on it about the size of a football... nowhere near ready to pick yet. I’ve never grown yellow meat watermelon before. I may have to in the future. You should try growing your own melons next year. |

Not sure I'd be a successful farmer. |

You should try growing your own melons next year. I live in the city, and we never get rain (even though it's raining currently) and we have 100 days of 100 degrees a year. Not sure I'd be a successful farmer. Watermelons are easy to grow. You are an East Texas guy. You can grow them right in your yard. No tilling required. Lowes should have their gardening stuff available for purchase in your area around February 1 next year. Go to Lowes around mid-February and buy a package of watermelon seed (I recommend Crimson Sweet); one bag of garden soil ( I recommend www.lowes.com/pd/Sta-Green-1-cu-ft-Garden-Soil/1001455926) and one bag of top soil (I recommend www.lowes.com/pd/1-cu-ft-Organic-Top-Soil/3878979). Your melon vines at maturity are going to cover an area of about 15 - 20 feet diameter. Allow for this when you choose where to put your mound of dirt (hill) to plant in. Once you’ve decided where you want your melon hill, dump the bags of garden soil and top soil one on top of the other to make your hill. Use your hands (no tool required) to mix the two soils together well. When you are done you should have a mound of dirt about 4” to 6” high and 2’ in diameter. Now you are ready to plant. I’m guessing that in your area any chance of a frost should be past by March 1st. So I would target March 1st as my planting date. In the middle of the mound of dirt form a slightly concave area about 6” in diameter and 1/2” deep. Take your finger and punch 5 holes approximately 3/4” deep within the concave area. Drop one seed in each hole. Cover the seed over with soil. Lightly water the area where you planted the seed. Keep the soil moist, but not water logged. You should have plants coming up within 10 - 14 days. Once the plants are a couple inches or so tall, thin them out to where you have the two most healthy, strongest looking plants remaining on the hill. Then let nature take it’s course. Just be sure to keep the soil on the mound moist. You should be harvesting melons by the end of May. |
