Watermelons
Been laied up with knee replacement. Haven't been shopping. Don't want the Mexico stuff. When do the good big canteloupes, and good old fashioned big watermelons appear, in north Alabama/South Tn.......

In the 60's I had to make bi-weekly run to SW Oklahoma in the area where watermelon was grown. There were honer stands everywhere and stocked with the smaller melons priced at 3 for a $1, with the more normal size $1 a piece.
GMO's? What they don't tell you is that not all are hybridized against just insects, they are also immune to many herbicides. That allows them to be drenched in it freely. What effect that will have on us isn't known, but I doubt it will be good. Between food heavy in insecticide and herbicide residue, the import of diseases without cures once confined by isolation we are our own worse enemy. I worry about my grand kids future. My biggest worry was Polio, but that was short lived, and getting the measles and chicken pox quickly to get them out of the way.
