I really enjoy growing watermelons. I grew up hearing my dad talk about how when he was a kid he hoed watermelons all summer and I'm lucky to not have to do the same. He always spoke of it fondly....strangly. Any how I have good luck with my dirt and watermelons. I grow some dang bigguns too. I mainly grow desert king yellow water melons but I grow about 5 hill's of Carolina crosses too. It's hard to beat sitting on the porch with my girl's chowing down on a cold melon . Good memories right there son !
