Green Thumb Gert

Here is the first watermelon we've picked from our garden.  It is huge, 20 1/2 inches long and 32 inches around the middle.  I hope it tastes as good as it looks.  We'll cut into it on Sunday when we have family over for dinner.  We have about 20 more in the garden and about 30 cantaloupes.  The high heat temperatures this year have been great for growing these sun loving fruits.  

                                                                               

I'll pick some cantaloupes this weekend and make some "Cantaloupe Ice".  Yummmmm, and very refreshing.
