Watermelon salsa! 🙌 Growing watermelon for my first year...I got one about that size I'll probably pick it for this labor day weekend..finger crossed it's ready!!!
Hi Stephanie and Buddy. Not surprised the garden is a little fried considering the heat index you’ve had of late. Those water melons looked so good. Always wondered how you knew when the water melons were ready yours looked so good. Ripe and ready to go. Looking forward to seeing what you can come up with. Have a great day take care and God Bless. 🙏💕🍉
Would make great frozen slush with or without alcohol to make an icy cold refreshing drink out of. I think I would add fresh squeezed lemon, lime or mint to it, puree in a blender, pour into a container to freeze and pull it out as you need it. I could even see it used to make a sherbet or sorbet with!
Bless,Luna was waiting for her piece 🥰🍉🐾 That was actually going to be my suggestion to use some of your 🍉😁 i make 🍉 & Greek yoghurt frozen treats for my dog 😄 Your garden really looked pretty good still! 😃 i was expecting yellow/brown & crispy! 😂 it’s still quite green 🌿👍 I have some very brown & crispy 🍂 scheffleras from the heat 😥😂 i watered them plenty,it just got too hot for them 🤷♀️
Good Morning Buddy and Stephanie ❤. I feel so bad for you all with this crazy heat. I keep praying for rain for you all. 🙏 I'm so sorry about your garden.
My parents always pick their watermelon after the 3rd curly cue after the watermelon dies off. They are always sooo good and ripe. They also grow Charleston Grey watermelon which seem to be the only ones that grow well in their garden.
I'm nervous to pick mine 😂. But it started to dry a few days ago it's like hard dried and the one above is dried! Been a few days over 5 weeks since the melons were pollinated and started growing
I love watermelon but on keto I can’t have that much. What I would do if I had many melon would be blend the red flesh and drink cold. Or if you had a family gathering I would make a large serving container of blended watermelon and add club soda to make it sparkling and lighter. A very refreshing party punch. Here in west central Wisconsin , we’ve had very little rain. I have to go outside and hand water my veggie and flower garden and my seeded lawn every day sometimes twice a day. We have heat indexes near 100 quite often but those fires in Canada make it very unhealthy to spend any time outside.
Candied rinds are good! Also try orange, lemon, and lime peels that are candied. They’re kind of a harder, firmer jelly. I can’t think of anything to compare them to…
Do you guys ever do Sunday Dinner? Stephanie you and Buddy are such amazing cooks! Watermelon Feta Salad 1/4 cup virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 3 cups of cubed (no seeds) watermelon, 1 cup of cucumber chopped, 1 cup of crumbled feta. 1/2 cup of red onion thinly sliced, 1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint. Whisk together oil, vinegar and salt in bowl. In a large serving bowl combine watermelon, cucumber, feta, onion and mint. Add dressing and toss to coat. Garnish with more mint and flaky sea salt.
I feel ya on the heat. I'm in the Phoenix AZ area and is now 8:45pm and it's still 109 degrees..no rain for months and the lows are in the 90s. I have to water my garden twice a day. Right now it's mostly flowers I'm trying to keep alive. It wouldn't be so bad if the heat didn't last for months and months. The winters are great though so I guess that's why I'm still here.😊 Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I really enjoy your videos.
I would highly recommend some tall t-post and shade cloth. For that big of a garden you're going to need quite a few, but it will help out tremendously in the extreme heat. I had to put a shade cloth over my garden a few times this summer.
I have 1 Sugar baby waitng to harvest out of 5 lol. Growing in a pot, no space to grow in the ground. I'm happy with just 1 to try lol. Had no luck this is my 4 tried. First tried it all died when it started to flowers. Will try again next Spring.
Great video! This is going to be helpful when I go check my sugar baby watermelons now. The first one I picked by size and it started to have a sun burn on top but it was ready. Yes lots of seeds, sweet but not overly but very juicy!
This video appeared on my feed this morning. I didn't see your new garage/barn so I looked and the video is a year old. Go figure. If you ever again have a surplus of watermelon maybe watermelon wine or watermelon jelly would be fun.
Hi 👋 Denman Clan. How about watermelon popsicles, freezies or watermelon yogurt? Enjoyed your sweet watermelon 101. One of my fav classes! Although truth b told, we're spoiled n will only buy w.melons without seeds, even though it is a pretty melon. Thx 💙 for sharing your life n times Denmans. You are so loved ❤n appreciated. Many blessings 🙌 to you n your family. May G d keep you safe n well. ❤n 🙏 always. Elly 🇨🇦
Y'all need a set of sharp knives. 🤔🙂 Take your melons, or pineapple etc, cut off both ends n shave it with motion (that's the best I can come up with lol). Best done with a very sharp knife. I wince every time you, #Steph cut something with a dull knife. PLEASE be safe! 🙂 Re: when you girls were taste testing with Jami and you were the cutter... Just an example. *Much safer with a sharp knife believe it or not 🙂 Have a great and safe day. P.S. that second knife was def sharp, just not the best style for cutting fruit? 🌻🌻🌻
I dont know how you can tell by the tendril? I have picked two so far this yr and the tendril is so dead it is falling off and the dang watermelon wasnt ripe?
First time growing sugar baby watermelons this year. The plants have thrived and I’ve harvested two so far. They have the faintest scent of, 🤢, I think onion, and they don’t taste good either as you might expect. I’m a novice gardener. This is the first time planting in this area of my yard, which I used to use for burning brush etc. Any advice? Is the soil just nasty over here maybe? Thanks for considering.
T😊he watermelon looks amazing. I love that and if you are alone this size is super. Can you replant the seeds? That would be great! Thanks for sharing. I love it! Please do. Bye 👋🇳🇱 
Thank you for showing us when to pick our sugar baby melons; some of mine are getting close I have them in large pots same type! Thank you. It took a good 4-5 months to see them; they surely have growing great! Take care and God bless; watching you from Front Range of Colorado; we have been very hot as well; we are now just getting into the cooler fall weather off and on!
IM SORRY BUT I AM SO TIRED OF EVERYONE IN TEXAS SAYING ITS TOO HOT TO DO ANYTHING, I LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE IT IS VERY HOT BUT EVERYTHING STILL GETS DONE. THERE ARE MEN WORKING OUT IN THE FARM FIELDS AND ROAD WORKERS OUT WORKING IN THE HEAT. I LOVE TO WATCH EVERYONE ON THE HILL PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEAT, YOU DONT KNOW HEAT UNTIL YOU LIVE THROUGH A MONSOON SEASON HERE. ITS NEVER BELOW 100 ANY DAY AND THE HUMIDITY IT SO BAD YOU CANNOT STAY DRY.
Good afternoon Stephanie and Buddy. We up here in Saskatchewan with our Roughriders football team will have to google as we make watermelon heads with cut out watermelons. Another thing they do is make watermelon vodka shots. Watermelon cut up, vodka, gingerale, Freeze in fridge not fully solid pour into jello cups then freeze fully. You can get a better recipe from google too as I only taste them not make them. lol. HAGD.
laugh out loud I know it's hard cuz when they're sweet and they're good It's hard to not smack. Hey when that busted open when y'all went to cut it God dog If that was in the freezer right now or the refrigerator little bit of salt what
K-pow! It's watermelon time. Love me some good watermelons 🍉. Hope u added some extra water 2 them. What no salt? Like mine with a taste of whiskey. Plug it.
What do you do with your Sugar Baby Watermelon Seeds? I’m harvesting them now. Can you give me advice on how to use them for next time please? I loved your video!
Hey you two, doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. Sorry it's bad here in P.A. but you have it much worse. What do you think how many pounds of produce you have gotten out this year? You have succeeded.
That one had a lot of seeds!!! I sent a link of watermelon rind pickles that you can find everywhere in NC that sounds a little like GiGi was talking about. But I guess you didn’t look at it. Your loss because they are delicious!!
The knife Dan gave you is an exceptional piece of cutlery, however every single one of you use it incorrectly!! It is made for the end of the knife to make the first cut then leaving the knife in whatever you are cutting then roll the cut to the end using pressure to cut the product you are cutting. NO LIFTING IT OUT. Did you notice how difficult it was for you to lift it from the melon to finish the cut? Try it on other produce and see how much eaiser you can cut it.
Watermelon do easily pop off when ready jet like she does. It’s not exactly like a cantaloupe popping off but similar. If your trundle is broken that’s a good way to tell if it’s ripe
That looks delish I like mine cold tho. Our watermelons are growing but this heat they may not make it. But our peas are coming in . I've heard of watermelon jelly but I don't make it
My favorite way to fix watermelon is to dehydrate it. Cut it into 1x2x1/2" pieces then dehydrate. It's better than any store bought candy and there are no chemicals or extras in it.
Hi there! So I live here in Henrietta Texas and I am growing sugar babies I pulled my first one about a week ago it was a nice dark green and had a good yellow spot the little curly q thing was brown and when I cut it open it was still White. It was not right at all is there any other way that I can know that they are ready to be harvested this is the first year I've done them so I'm kind of ignorant about it😊
Have you ever seen seeds for the yellow meated watermelons? My Grandfather used to buy one of each of the yellow and red meated. I always thought they tasted so much better, but I can't find them anywhere.
I have NOT FOUND A DECENT WATER MELONS 🍉 YET I THINK THEY NEED TO LEAVE SEEDS IN INSTEAD OF SEEDLESS! They don’t even smell good! My twin and I have seed spitting contest, then it’s spitting them at me and now it’s war 😂LOL

Try letting the stem of the melon turn brown before picking. My grandfather grew acres of watermelon. ❤🙏
Yum yum I love watermelon. Of course with salt.
Sugar babies watermelon are so cute to me. I watermelon juice I bet they would taste good blended into a smoothie.
How did that irrigation set up work as far as watering as things got so hot and dry. Did it tell you when to water?
Watermelon jam
Make jelly !
Love water melon but nearly 6 dollar for one that size or on sale for 5. Rather have a bigger one !watermelon perseveres recipe on your other video
Watermelon jelly, spicy or flavored
Same here in Florida just so hot
I think it could have gone a few more days the green is thick.

Your garden really looked pretty good still! 😃 i was expecting yellow/brown & crispy! 😂 it’s still quite green 🌿👍
I have some very brown & crispy 🍂 scheffleras from the heat 😥😂 i watered them plenty,it just got too hot for them 🤷♀️
Luna was waiting for a piece of watermelon .. poor thing ❤
Lol she's not a poor thing. They take very good care of her.
@@courtneyw6378Luna said, “but, it was Watermelon!” 😂
@@terrymueller7394 👍🏼
I agree!
Thanks for sharing. I never new when growing watermelons when to pick. Now I do.
Good Morning Buddy and Stephanie ❤. I feel so bad for you all with this crazy heat. I keep praying for rain for you all. 🙏 I'm so sorry about your garden.
Buddy & Steph thanks for letting us know how to pick a watermelon 👍🙏🏼👍🐰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good Tuesday morning, Stephanie and Buddy. I like the small watermelon 🍉 it's the right size for me. 😊
My parents always pick their watermelon after the 3rd curly cue after the watermelon dies off. They are always sooo good and ripe. They also grow Charleston Grey watermelon which seem to be the only ones that grow well in their garden.
I'm nervous to pick mine 😂. But it started to dry a few days ago it's like hard dried and the one above is dried! Been a few days over 5 weeks since the melons were pollinated and started growing
im going to count n see if any curly cues ready
yay I have 3 dead curly cues!! its ready !!! whoop whoop!! 1st watermelon of my garden! so excited! making a video on my channel.@@karmen9514
Was it ripe?@@karmen9514
This looks delicious!😊🕯💧🧡💜🧡
Thank you for this video! I am growing watermelon (Sugar baby), for the first time and this is the information I needed. 🙏🏿😊
Buddy cut it tip to tip. Go horizontal. You won't get so many seeds in a row with 2 bites. 😊
good call!
If where melon sits on ground is Manila envelope color it's ready.
Cheers! Funny thing... I'm watching this, eating from our first sugar baby of the year.
I love watermelon but on keto I can’t have that much. What I would do if I had many melon would be blend the red flesh and drink cold.

Yeah, fruit. But you cut it wrong. 😅❤❤❤
With all you do, you need a Harvest Rite freeze dryer!
Candied rinds are good! Also try orange, lemon, and lime peels that are candied. They’re kind of a harder, firmer jelly. I can’t think of anything to compare them to…

Same here Az, Maricopa water 2x daily morning and evening. Waitng to harvest my first Sugar baby
Nicely done as always. Stay safe

Thanks for the picking tip. I had the tendril thing all wrong. Sadly, I disagree completely. The littler melons just are no match to a normal melon!
Have a watermelon seed spitting contest, with the whole family!🤩

Have you ever had mango salsa? It is absolutely delicious.

I dont know how you can tell by the tendril? I have picked two so far this yr and the tendril is so dead it is falling off and the dang watermelon wasnt ripe?
Love the small Thai watermelon because it has very small immature seeds. AKA seedless.

You can use the rinds to make watermelon preserves to sounds like what Buddy is describing

My favorite Agua Fresca is watermelon 🍉. Hope you make it. So refreshing cold during hot days.
Got the info I was looking for, but Dude! Manly knife straight to melon baller over Manly KNIFE? 😂🤣
Hi gorgeous ❤from Chattanooga TN Where everything's 15 minutes away.😂much Love ❤️

Hello Denman family. Question how often do you water your garden. My watermelon sadly didn't survive due texas heat 😢 thank you
Thanks for sharing, Stephanie and Buddy! Looks yummy! Keep on keepin' on!
I picked 2 with both dry but cut and all was white inside yet so most likely let the stem turn also. I'm still waiting yummmmmm

Did you give Kim the ok to take things from your garden while you guys are on vacation.
It's looks good. The only wat to eat Mellon is slicing or chunking the pieces. Yummy with a little salt. Thankyou have a great day.

Brooke @ Mrs Cog hill farm freeze dried her watermelon it turned out great
G'day.! Did you also notice in that video that the lady doesn't measure anything?. I have to measure everything.
One of my grandma's used to make watermelon jelly. I don't know how she made though. My mom didn't like it and never made it.
Thank you for this video I was wondering when my watermelon would be ready to harvest .
That’s good information for someone that grows watermelons, or if a person is allowed to pick one. ❤ Sheila T (ST)
Have you ever seen seeds for the yellow meated watermelons? My Grandfather used to buy one of each of the yellow and red meated. I always thought they tasted so much better, but I can't find them anywhere.
Have you ever done candy watermelon Rhine I could not ever find a recipe for that and it's supposed to be delicious
I think Gi was referring to watermelon rind preserves. Mama used to make them. Google, there are recipes there :)
I think so as well.
Nothing like watermelon to me it tells summer. Luna is back there saying mom ,dad please share
MAKE WATERMELON 🍉 SHERBERT or sherbe
Freeze the red parts and use them in blended drinks all winter long.
OMG! Sugar babies are the best ever. That's the only watermelon i eat through out the summer.
Put a towel under your cutting-board to keep it from sliding.
How many days once the watermelon appears?
Steph, if you put a wet paper towel under your cutting board it will not slide around. 👍🤗
I ate pickled watermelon rind a long time ago and enjoyed it.
Cog hill farm just freeze dried watermelon and they loved it.
I really thought watermelon rins was similar to preserves.
The sugar baby watermelons are just the right size.
I have NOT FOUND A DECENT WATER MELONS 🍉 YET I THINK THEY NEED TO LEAVE SEEDS IN INSTEAD OF SEEDLESS! They don’t even smell good! My twin and I have seed spitting contest, then it’s spitting them at me and now it’s war 😂LOL
Need to find farmers market
Good morning
Watermelon or cantaloupe sherbet is delicious and not too hard to make
Can you make a sweet but spicy salsa from watermelon?
Thanks for sharing your video 😇
I'm from Indiana and we call them pig tails.
Oh that looks so good. Wish they sold them up here.
Frozen watermelon pieces in the heat.. yes, please
Mamma Bairds did a watermelon lemonade concentrate.
There is a watermelon rind jam you can make!
You two, are so adorable.❤
Sounds like a good watermelon.
