Have a good melon and think of me, getting by on so-so melons till I make it back to that farmer's market and see if I'm in luck.<br /><br />John D.

But they only sold whole watermelons, which were useless to me as a tourist. I couldn't eat a whole one at once, and had no facilities for storing it cut. (Not to mention that I had no knife, either.) Nor could I find any restaurants that served watermelon, so I passed through great watermelon country watermelon-less.David Bratmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090662884600828582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-37447166216194716522015-07-26T00:29:17.879-07:002015-07-26T00:29:17.879-07:00John, this is Pam, not Kristy.John, this is Pam, not Kristy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719049293973138711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-52852657395273216832015-07-26T00:28:23.551-07:002015-07-26T00:28:23.551-07:00Farmers no longer raise many black diamond, Jubile...Farmers no longer raise many black diamond, Jubilee, or Charleston Grays as most nowadays enjoy the seedless varieties. They are bred for sweetness and some are quite good. I join you in missing the grays and stripes though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719049293973138711noreply@blogger.com
