30 Pound 4 Ounce Watermelon

The watermelons are ripening fast now and we’ve harvested another whopper.  A good year despite a terribly dry June thanks to the water well pump installed for our remote garden.  Growing watermelons in Michigan is a good trick, considering the relatively short growing season but our 14 hills have provided some 60 melons and they’re some of the best ever.
