Summer Harvest in the Vegetable Garden
Watermelons grow on low vines across the soil in vegetable gardens. When the fruit reaches full size, harvesting requires carefully separating the thick stem from the plant. Gardening during the summer months involves caring for these large fruits until they reach their peak sweetness.
Botanical Facts About Watermelons
Although people commonly treat watermelon as a fruit, botanists classify it as a type of giant berry called a pepo. These plants belong to the same botanical family as cucumbers, pumpkins, and squashes. Watermelons consist of over ninety percent water, which helped ancient desert travelers carry hydration across dry regions.
