This post is on the three cultivars of watermelons we tasted on July 4, 2022. I grew Mama's Girl and Lemon Drop cultivars, and Jim-25 came from my farming neighbor, Jim. He is a breeder and produces hybrid seeds.
In the pictures below, the largest is Mama's Girl, the yellow is Lemon Drop, and the smaller green is Jim-25.
All these watermelons turned out to be very good to excellent. Lemon Gold could take a few more days on the vine, but never the lees was pretty good and crisp.Jim -25 was crisp and sweet, and the most flavorful and sweet was Mama's Girl. In summary, I could eat any of these on any day. All were happily consumed by the family and I.
