I know this is off subject, but being a gardening thread I thought that some of you might find this at least interesting. If you've seen it already, sorry.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU'D SEEN IT ALL.....Here is breaking news that we've all been waiting to know:

Square Watermelons A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerater and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.

Are they in your local grocery store? If so, pick up one or two while they last. They are elegant to look at and they are easy to cut.

First, if you look at our keywords, they cover a lot of territory and I for one, cannot stay on one subject, so your watermelons are not off topic.........

Did you know they also have square tomatoes, something about the machine pickers and easier to package.

I am old fashioned, I want my food to look just like it did in my granny’s day.

LOL.
