I swear it even tastes better than it looks. The temperature outside today is pure summer weather. Low 90's and high humidity and I just could not wait any longer to taste this baby and it is delicious. Mark Twain once stated that watermelon was the fruit of the Gods and I can not think of any sweeter tasting fruit. I planted two in one EB.

Farmer -- My seed packet said Crimson Sweet? They were by Ferris and I bought them as a lark from Lowes? I still have the packet. Guess this was a bo-bo by the packer but by gosh, it sure is a sweet melon and I must save the seeds though the melon is mostly seedless. By the way, thanks to you and your advice on raising melons, I finally suceeded in doing so and I am delighted with my melons. I waited and let nature do her thing and she sure is a far better farmer than I am. LOL
