WATERMELON TASTE TEST















OK, perhaps I jumped the gun when harvesting our first Sugar Baby watermelon. The seed packet said to pick it when the underside turns pale yellow (check) and the tendril opposite the stem begins to dry out (check). However, it also said that these babies reach 7-8 inches in diameter (try 4), and can weigh up to 10 lbs. (1 1/4 would be stretching it). My son and I were the only ones brave enough to taste it, and though we only got about one bite each, I'm happy to report that Austin declared "It tastes just like watermelon!"
