we have been watching this watermelon getting bigger and bigger.

| july 21 BIGGER |
the farmer sons would comment on it saying that it was getting huge. having never grown watermelon before i had no idea how to tell when it was ready. how do you know? live and learn right, so farmer dad picked it and cut it open. surprise! it was a yellow watermelon. it was very good, not as sweet as a red, but still really good. i had no idea that there was even a thing as yellow water melon until last year when i accidentally bought one at the store. that was an interesting moment. i have no idea how or why it grew yellow but it did so we all enjoyed it. the farmer men really had fun with spitting the seeds out.
to me, that is so worth it. to plant a seed, try and take care of the growing plant, hopefully get some good growth, harvest it, then enjoy it, all the while making memories with people you love the most. i'd say this was a success and we will totally do it again!
