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?
