Blogging is so awesome. The Frugal Hostess asked this question, and gegebrownagain answered! She said, "Have you picked one to see if they are ripe? Living in the tropics, when it was particularly hot and humid for a few days in a row, our watermelons seemed to stop growing and juts ripened at the size they were at. Eating a watermelon whose red bit was only just bigger than a soft ball is a very interesting experience."
Well, friends, she was RIGHT!!! Look at this:

Wow, right?
The Frugal Hostess insists that you come hang out on Facebook. What? Like you don't already spend three hours there a day.

ReplyDeleteYou were totally right! I can't believe that these teensy little things are real watermelons! They are delicious, too. Wow, nature, really - WOW.
ReplyDeleteThose melons seem to be about the right size to use as a garnish on a glass of iced tea.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Kate & I have been crushing little watermelons lately, better for our small households!
