Hello, Lovely Steemians, So you think you can pick a winning cryptocurrency and make some money, But can you pick a good watermelon.
Let's found out how good you are, Disclaimer: Credits and image source are mentioned at the end of the post.
Look for the field spot
The yellow spot, known as the field spot, is the place where the watermelon rested on the ground. Ripe watermelons always have creamy yellow or even orange-yellow spots, not white.
Look for webbing
These weblike brown spots on the watermelon mean that bees touched the pollinating parts of the flower many times. The more pollination, the sweeter the fruit is.
"Boy" and "Girl" watermelons
Many people do not know that farmers differentiate watermelons by gender. For example, ’boys’ are bigger, have an elongated shape, and a watery taste. The ’girls’ have a rounded shape and are very sweet.
I will go with the girl watermelon, just because i am a male.
Pay attention to the size
It is better to choose neither the largest nor the smallest watermelon. Select an average-sized fruit. And note, please: large or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size.
Inspect the tail
A dried tail indicates that the watermelon is ripe. However, if the tail is green, it probably means that the watermelon was picked too soon and will not be ripe

Ironically after I posted that, I left to check out a college near me, with a HUGE outdoor growing and teaching centre I had wanted to see for a long time, they must have 1.5 acres of food growing there, greenhouses, a complete apple orchard on the other side of the building and some bee hives!!!

Great useful post here my man.
I UV a few of your posts just now.
Appreciate all the Upvotes as well as taking the time to check out my blog, hope I can return the favor once I get more steem. I guess you found out your free apocalypse food then, I suggest you keep living there, or might move right next to the green house.
