Mmmmm!!

My neighbor is the local watermelon guy, so at the end of the day I get all of the watermelon that he doesn't sell. He will throw about 10 of them over the fence for the animals and then set the rest of them alongside the fence for me. I think I ate an entire watermelon last night.

When the sheep eat the watermelon and look up, it looks like they have on red lipstick. They also love eating the rind of the watermelon. Nothing goes to waste.

Yes it is and that is where I'm headed here in about ten minutes to my watermelon patch I got to get what the crows and coons haven't yet destroyed and gather up the ones they have and bring them to the critters here they are gonna be sick of watermelon by this evening. I planted 148 hills and they did well till the crows discovered them but it was too late by then next season I'm gonna surprise them with kite string canopy and it'll be closer to the house too within "shootgun range" that'll really surprise them LOL

Wow, that's a lot of watermelon!

I started (2) 5 gallon buckets of watermelon wine a couple weeks ago. It was the watermelon with the orange meat inside. We'll see how that turns out. I will probably start a batch with the red meat watermelon next. I'm running out of buckets and room in my house. :/

Here is a pic of the birds enjoying last year's watermelon crop.

They sure do look like they were enjoying!!! Every time I give my hens watermelon they eat every last scrap except the very, very thing green skin. And that green skin just rolls up into a dry crispy little roll. There is no denying their enjoyment for sure! And that wine looks VERY bubbly! Lol!

I have seen that same dry crispy little roll. If the sheep don't eat the green rind, then I can look for the crispy roll.

X2. At first I couldn't figure what that roll was finally I realized it was the pitiful remains of the watermelon. Kuntrygirl, did those animals eat all that watermelon? That is quite a watermelon party. Lol
