Sweet Dakota Rose Watermelon Patch


Our first ripe watermelon!

Nothing is more disappointing then picking your beautiful melon too early-- before its prime. Meaning you watermelon won't have peak ripe color and flavor!

This one was perfect!!

Sweet, juicy, homegrown watermelons-- summer magic with run-down-your-chin refreshment and sweetness!! The perfect dessert or afternoon pick-me-up to quench that hot summer thirst and sweet cravings. 

We just picked the first watermelon of the season! OMGosh-- the aroma when I cut it open was amazing! So familiar and so missed! One of the reasons I love this time of year!
