Refreshing!


Watermelons are symbolic to Summertime here in the Philippines. Although nowadays, with the trends in agriculture and propagation, watermelons can now bear fruit all year round. Before, these were just summer crops grown in rotation during drier months like March to June due to its strength and hardiness during droughts. 

In this time of the pandemic, fruits can be a luxury even in our home so whenever we get a fruit or two, especially this watermelon, it really is a treat for me not just to my tastebuds but also to my eyes! There's something about watermelons that feels refreshing even Just the sight of it! Do you get that too with these?

By the way, it's a brand new month! Happy June everybody around the world!

  4. We grew watermelon commercially for a few years (a long time ago) and almost lived on them as we had so many. I still enjoy a nice chilled watermelon, with or without seeds!

  6. Isn't it strange? When on holiday in Greece or the Med, we will always eat melon with breakfast fruit, but back home we would never dream of buying one. Perhaps we enjoy other fruits just that little bit more, especially strawberries!
