Is It Just Me Or Is Watermelon Not As Good This Summer? Here’s Why!

One of my favorite summertime foods (and really, anytime food) is watermelon! But this year, the ones I’ve tried just haven’t been great. So I did a little digging, and here are some possible reasons why:

  • Unusual Weather Patterns
  • Temperature Swings
  • Postharvest Handling Issues
  • Soil and Crop Stress

They say when shopping for a melon, look for the heaviest one,that usually means it’s the ripest!

Have you noticed the melon game has been off this season too?
