Yesterday we harvested a little less than one quarter of our watermelon patch.
The harvest day started out sort of like a long-anticipated trip with Dave as our
tour guide, driving the tractor so that we could load almost 1,000 watermelons
onto the wagon)!
In the two photos above, you see Kenji harvesting the Quetzali variety and
below that, Carrie and Dave harvest Crimson Sweet.
The watermelons are all perfectly ripe, sweet, and juicy! Be prepared to
take one in your share today (they each weigh about 3-4 pounds, though
some are smaller.)
With every heavy harvest comes the inevitable unloading. We spent quite
awhile loading the watermelons into bins so that they could be weighed and
stored properly. We hope you enjoy the refreshing treat during these last
days of summer!
