Maybe watermelons are different, but I thought the lines of the watermelon usually ran parallel with the length of the melon (or pointing themselves either towards or away from the "bloom" end. Perhaps it works both ways? But a couple of weeks ago one of the old farmers down the road from us showed us the trick and he made a point of saying to start with the straw perpendicular to the stripes, or in a solid colored watermelon "crosswise" to the "ends" of the melon where the bloom/stem were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375764557472442181.post-90381400536686081712010-08-08T23:03:26.301-05:002010-08-08T23:03:26.301-05:00I love that you are having more time for blogging!...I love that you are having more time for blogging!!Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558473937585214597noreply@blogger.com
