We are really getting into and appreciating watermelon season this year. There is nothing better than a cold juicy sweet and crispy crunchy piece of watermelon.
Florida and Georgia both produce good melons. All the talk about how to pick a melon is interesting. I usually go for a nice green melon with a good yellow field mark. One that is heavier than it looks is a bonus.
Cutting into a watermelon for the time is like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.
First tell is the initial cut. It’s good when juice starts running right when you cut it. A real good sign is when it practically splits on it’s own. I cut them down the middle and the first look when you split them apart will tell you most everything.
First good sign is hardly any seeds. Number two sign is color. Nice even red is good.
This season we have been on a roll. After a few sub par melons early on, we have been hitting the sweet spot.
