Wish some of you were closer, you could pick out what you want for free.

Planted I don't even remember for sure......4 or 5 watermelon plants in a corner space of the field I put my sweet corn in.

We've been busy every weekend for about 6 weeks now canning, and the sweet corn has been long over, so I wasn't down in that patch to check on these. Went down yesterday morning and picked them.

Holy cow. 22 melons and out of the biggest 6, I weighed 4 of them and they were averaging 30 lbs a piece. :shock:

A couple small ones, but the bulk of the remaining ones are still large, I'd guess they weigh 18-20 lbs a piece.

Gave away 4 last evening but still gotta find people to take some. My wife and I will eat some for sure, but we can't get rid of somewhere between 400-500 lbs of watermelons. :lol:




Nothing to compare them to, but those 6 up front are BIG.
