I love watermelon and just finished one off yesterday. BTW I enjoy the tune "Watermelon Man" by Herbie Hancock. watermelon man herbie hancock - Yahoo Video Search Results

I like watermelon, finding a good one like finding needle in haystack, ones in store are flat to sour tasting, must be all the chemicals in the ground down Mexico way.

I remember black diamond melon were the sweetest and they were huge. These grapefruit size in stores are worthless to me.

The best watermelon I have ever eaten is grown around Amarillo, TX. It is yellow inside, not red, and has wonderful flavor and texture. The best red watermelon I have had was in Vietnam a few years ago. Very fresh, ripe and brilliantly red.

I was so lucky to find a huge, oblong melon (with seeds!) this week and it tastes like the watermelons my dad used to bring home from the farmer markets!!! It's such a treat! Generally, watermelon is one product that modern farming methods have NOT improved!

Earlier this year we planted one watermelon plant. In the last month, we harvested 5 watermelons from it. Finally pulled the plant out. They were all very sweet, juicy and good!

Here is one of them, just after picking.

Nothing pleases like watermelon when you just come off the golf course duiing these very warm days.

Beautiful!

If I recall correctly I read somewhere the original small development started by Harold Schwartz was amid some watermelon fields; they should grow quite well in the area.
