      We bought all our seeds from Baker Creek this year. I probably planted my watermelon late but it's trying to grow. Only time will tell if it grows. I realize it's probably too late though. Will try again for sure next year.

    My Grandpa grew the best watermelons in his sandy loam soil of lower Delaware. He use to take me out in the garden, pull out his pocket knife and cut a watermelon of the vine. Then tell me we were only going to eat the very best part...the heart. We'd stand there and eat the heart and then he'd throw the rest in his "trash" pile which I now know was his compost. I treasure my beautiful heritage of growers!!!

    I will ask my Aunt if she's heard of Art Combe. Her grandfather was John James Thompson, who came over from Ireland as a young boy and made his way to Arizona in the mid 1800s, and was the FIRST white settler in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona. He homesteaded 300 acres that became known as Indian Gardens. In some indian ruins on their property the Thompson family found some ancient baskets with seeds that the archeologists said were older than 200 years old. My Aunt Ellen planted some corn seeds to see if they would still grow after being stored for so long. They did grow some very interesting corn, and had entered it into the county fair with the story about the seeds. Well, some low life thief stole all the ears of corn and the ribbons they had earned right off the display table! When J.J. Thompson found the land, he found that there were vegetables and fruits still growing after the Calvary moved the Indians to a reservation, so he was able to continue growing those ancient crops for his future family. Cool Expo!
