Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Lucia and Linda I am living in Ireland so we really do not get to grow watermellon here at all... Watermellon and all mellons all imported. I have been eating the huge green one with the pink/red flesh. I notice the seeds in this last one were not dark like previous mellons, and the seeds were softish too. I will buy another tomorrow and see if that too is yuckie..if so then perhaps my watermellon eating time is over for now. Linda waht is the name of the small watermellon from south africa? Love Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Julia, from your discription it sounds like you may have bought one that was picked from the fine too soon. If It does not have a nice yellow spot on the outside where is sat on the ground, then that one may have been picked too soon. I don't think the watermelon from S. America had a name other than watermelon. That was S. America, not Africa, but I am sure they grow nice ones there, also. When you thump on it, if it sounds to high note it is too green, to low sound means it is too ripe. You have to pick one that has a middle note sound and it will be just right. Hehe!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Dear Linda I just had a wonderful image flash into my mind of a watermellon farm.... children in dungaress skipping in between the mellons... blue skies and straw hats... a bit wizzard of oz ish actually..lol! Today at the health food store I saw a bottle of organic melon juice and bought it... there is a picture of a Gala mallon on the front. it is 100%pure and not from concentrate so I am looking forward to tasting that later. I am just back from the dentist and my mouth is still kumb from the start of the root canal treatment, but the swelling on the roof is now very sore from all the prodding.. but it will pass soon enough.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hehe! Julia, I did that a lot when I was a kid, didn't have a straw hat though. My brothers and sisters and I would go to the neighbors watermelon farm and pick us out a good one or two and put it in the icey spring water in the creek behind out house. It would taste so delicious, nice and cold on those summer days. It was a great little creek to go swimming in, too. The water was cold and clear all the time. I hope your mouth get to feeling better real soon. I do feel for you, my mouth use to get sore a lot and this week I have had a sore mouth again. It's been a long time since I have experienced that. My body has been wacky this week for some reason. I went from being way too acid at the beginning of the week to being way too alkaline these last couple of days. I think I over did it, trying to get it back to normal. My mouth broke out and has been very painful, especially the end of my tongue. It really hurts bad.
