Steve, they don't have them in England? I love them, and just this week
end, I bought one fourth of a melon, well, they were on sale, so I got 2
pieces, and cut them up and put the fruit in a plastic storage container; loads
cheaper than buying it already cut up! I cannot cut up a whole one; my hands
are not strong enough, I guess, to push through the big melon, but smaller
pieces work fine for me. guess I am just getting old! grin! good article.
Sandy

It's Time For Watermelon!
Americans purchase and consume about 3 billion pounds of watermelon
annually.
Watermelon, considered one of America's favorite fruits, is really a
vegetable (Citrullus lanatus). Cousin to the cucumber and kin to the gourd,
watermelons can range in size from 7 to 100 pounds.
* Melons may be kept at room temperature, un-cut, for about two weeks.
Store whole melons at 50-60 degrees.
Cut melons should be wrapped and stored at 40-50 degrees.
If you need a small amount of watermelon, it is best to buy a piece of a
larger one. It may be more expensive per pound, but you will be more likely to
get good flavor.
