WHAT A WATERMELON

Having never tried to grow a watermelon in my garden I sure was surprised when I got to grow three. One was ripe so we picked it and would you believe it weighed 34 1/2 lbs. It was so sweet. The other two are not ready yet but with the heat I sure don't believe they will get to grow that big.
I had searched everywhere for some of the ole time watermelon seeds called moon and stars. I found some down in Nashville, Tn. at the Home Depot I think. They are a old Indian watermelon that someone had told us about. They are green with yellow specks on them and yellow inside. I put them out late so I don't know if they will make it in or not. The heat is really working our garden over.
I can't wait for it to get fall so I can plant some more mustard and green onions. Maybe also some collard greens. Now those are a story in theirself. We went down to Flordia a few years back and stopped at a farmers market. They had some bunchs of collard greens there so I got two bunches. They were so big, not like the ones we get around here. I had put a new garden bathtub in and since it was new I had to wash them in it. Would you believe I had a bathtub full of collard greens. I did not think I would ever get those things washed clean. Cooking all those greens was some else. I had all kinds of kettles on the stove trying to get them cooked down. But in the long run it was some of the best eating I had for awhile. Nothing like collard greens with bacon in them for dinner. The secret for them not being so bitter is let them cook for awhile and then rinsing them off and cook them some more and then rinse them again. Then season them and finish cooking them. Just some good ole country eating with a big piece of cornbread and you got yourself a meal......
