The only time I appreciated a watermelon was in Romania in 1973. It was v hot. I have never really enjoyed one since. England is just not hot enough to get that must have watermelon feeling.
It is definitely hot enough in many parts of US to enjoy a juicy part of summer. I make a very nice watermelon salad that has always put a smile on my grandchildrens' faces.
Funny because the only place I drank Coke was on the same holiday, Romania, and I also have never touched it since. I didnt like it then and was sure it made me ill.
Never seen the attraction of watermelon - no matter how hot it is. Like Sue, I find it tasteless mush. This reminds me, there is a Galia melon lurking in the back of the fridge veggie draw.
Watermelon played a regular part in my Virginia childhood summers. I seem to remember sprinkling salt on watermelon...maybe that is akin to your mixing it with feta.
I'm not a great watermelon fan, and don't think I've had any this century. I do miss the fun of spitting the seeds. My brothers and I would giggle, even though our parents disapproved of our daring.
It's definitely hot enough here for watermelon to go down a treat most of the year. The ones my grandfather grew when I was a child, Sugar Babies, will always be the best I ever ate.
Love, love love, watermelon when I buy one I have to have it as soon as I get back from the market. So lucky you grow them. I posted three days of rain, clouds and more clouds today on my blog if you want to pop over.

Cheaper and healthier than an ice lolly!
Greetings Maria x
We had a super curry at friends, with other friends, last night and the slices of water melon went down very well.
I agree. Much better.
The perfect coolant.
Yum! I love watermelon but there's always too much for one person. Mr B doesn't care for it.
I started to love it only last year, strange.
A summer staple here as well.

Delicious. But I was just thinking the same as Rachel. It rarely seems quite hot enough in England to appreciate it.

I bought it when all the kids were here, there wasn't much left.
I find it has just the right amount of flavour, some of the smaller ones I find a bit sickly.
So it should be. I sent the stuff this morning!
We wandered down to the harbour the other day and Louis insisted on watermelon rather than ice cream. x
The first time I ever drank Coke was in Tangiers when I was about 23. It was so good; I've never drunk it since.
I think it has to be over 30 C to really benefit.
I also add small lumps to Tomato salads.
Good for him. Only one ingredient, whereas ice cream.....

A delicious salad is watermelon, feta, lime juice,fresh basil and salt and pepper. Yum!
That sounds delicious. Tomorrow perhaps.
Like Rachel and Jules, I can only eat water melon when it's really hot. Otherwise it's just tasteless mush.

The children like it!
I actually like the fact that it doesn't have too much flavour. I look on it as eating red flavoured solid water

Best wishes.
You can also infuse them with vodka for a bit of a kick.

cheers, parsnip
Thanks
Nowadays they come seedless (mine wasn't). I'm sure I've heard of people frying watermelon.... I must check.
We usually eat ours during the heat of the afternoon, so I'm not sure if that would be advised; but it certainly sounds very good.
It's a paradox; watermelon goes down best in hot dry places, but requires a lot of water to grow. Odd.
This wasn't home grown Parsnip; I've never tried. I only ever buy them when the children are here; far too big otherwise.
