On October 16th, a hard freeze spread across mid-Missouri. The evening before, we did one last garden harvest of anything ripe enough to store. This included a quantity of watermelon. What a treat this turned out to be. All nine were around 20 pounds of sweet deliciousness. Because of their size, and the amount of other produce, we had to be creative about where to put them until we could get around to sharing with family and neighbors. Who really needs leg room under the kitchen table anyway?
