Thanks for the recipe compliment. W...Garden Man,<br /> <br />Thanks for the recipe compliment. We have had watermelons to split due to 3 reasons. Too much water, over ripe, and too much heat prior to ripening. The water inside of the melon expands due to the excessive heat and splits like a balloon. We haven't had too many to do this, but it has happened and like you said it is sad to see. I don't have any solutions other than pray. <br /> <br />Twilley's has been good to me and I last week I ordered seeds for cool season crops this fall which were delivered within days and I will start sowing them this weekend.<br /> <br /><br />Thanks,<br /> <br />Browder's Fresh PickinsBrowder's Fresh Pickinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065412434819820207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061431233694470916.post-47848216500090979162011-08-06T06:29:52.289-07:002011-08-06T06:29:52.289-07:00Hey BFP, I like your recipe additions--great idea!...Hey BFP, I like your recipe additions--great idea!<br /><br />Have you ever had watermelons split open BEFORE they're ripe? We haven't had too much rain--could it be the heat? Only a few are doing this, but sad to see.<br /><br />Thanks for your earlier reply. Already received my Twilley's seed catalog.<br /><br />Garden ManAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
