| Growing Notes | One of the trickiest times is figuring out when to harvest a watermelon. We use the tendril method…when the tendril immediately above the fruit is browned, it’s time to pick that fruit and hope it’s ripe, but not overripe! |
| Battle of the Bugs | Cucumber beetles and squash vine borers will go after watermelon vines. They are the worst pests! |
| Fun Fact | Watermelons are 90% water so they are aptly named! |
| Don’t Waste It! | Duh…these are way too delicious to waste! |
