Farmer Carville Mace is working hard at Foxleigh Farm to bring in the last of the watermelon harvest. With a quick recap of how they planted their fields with this iconic summer fruit, we see just how much the melons have grown. Carville explains the important skill of knowing when a watermelon is ripe, which he can sense just by tapping the fruit and listening to them. As the day goes on, Carville, his family, and their farmhands, pick wagon loads of melons, which are then washed and sold at stores and their family farm stand.

Ain't nothing like a cold slug of watermelon on a hot summer day

@Minpafarm Месяц назад

Looking at those watermelons in the field makes me so hungry, I just want to grab the biggest one, cut it open, and eat the whole thing to quench my thirst! There's nothing more refreshing on a hot day like this!

Mmm I worked in the watermelons since I was 14 years old and I loved it ❤️

More often than not you'll want to wait until a stem is brown as opposed to green before you harvest a melon for optimal ripeness but these guys have to make sure their produce stays fresher longer than a backyard gardener so I can see where he's coming from.

I raise a small watermelon and cantaloupe patch here in southern MD, the biggest pain in the neck is keeping the grass out!

@whome9936 Месяц назад

Plasticulture is the answer, just like these guys are doing.

small, medium or large don't really matter still they're nice

@aaronbaron3155 Год назад

When you're working outside in heat there's nothing better than frozen watermelon. If you catch it right when it's cold through and not completely frozen it's perfect. I ate like 80 watermelon last summer doing pools!!!

@cattnipp Год назад

My key is only buy the round seedless ones with stripes - they are always perfect.

@katierose9641 17 дней назад

How much do they make per melon? I know they do okay per acre, but an acre is a lot of weight.

@ELLAGROAFRIKA Год назад

That is nice

What happens with the Melons they are to big? is it able to eat it? be sure that 35 Million peoble die every year worldwide becouse they have to less to eat.

@pendlera2959 11 месяцев назад

They're throwing the ones that are overripe back into the field, where I assume they get eaten by wildlife. They didn't throw any away for being too big, they just sorted them by size because they know different customers want different sizes.
