Lotta watermelon

[brightly_lit]

This week, we got in our CSA the usual slew of summer squash and cucumbers and some other tasties, as well as SIX WATERMELONS!! In their newsletter, they told how their first year as a CSA, they gave out too MUCH food and said all the members wanted to quit, lol. I'm loving figuring out things to do with these watermelons, though.

I'm glad I found this comm and that it's active! I'm obsessed with growing things and all my CSA acquisitions. :-> Nice to meet you!

Yay watermelons! I've heard of watermelon pickles, but never tried them. I know my dad's chickens used to appreciate the rinds.

I have in fact tried the watermelon pickles! I think I used the classic recipe, and they were very strong! Very tart, very spiced--too strong for me. I tried freezing watermelon, and it's so good, now I don't want to eat watermelon any other way! :-)
