I go to a little farmer stand nearby, although produce here isn't in season. They get their produce in Florida right now and haul it up. I'm a tomato snob - I want field grown, not hothouse, and there is definitely a difference. Interestingly, they're still cheaper than the grocery store, and I don't know how they manage to do that. Sadly, they didn't have naval oranges today - they get the best I've ever eaten. But they did promise that watermelons weren't that far away. They always get the good kind with seeds, not the tasteless seedless varieties.
I was tempted to get some green tomatoes today, but took a pass - cutting back on fried stuff at the moment.
“They always get the good kind with seeds, not the tasteless seedless varieties.”
Each year I see fewer seeded watermelons for sale and more of the seedless. Walmart is the last one that has seeded, and not all the time. BUT there is a Walmart that is further away that usually has seed watermelons. It is in a more black neighborhood. So I go there sometimes
BTW -— Seedless watermelon have lots thicker rind. So are a ripoff in this way. Sadly, Americans are getting too lazy to deal with watermelon seeds.
