Summer means watermelons and cantaloupes to people who like summer fruits. I love watermelon and tend to buy one at least every other shopping trip throughout the summer. most of the watermelons seem to be grown in the western states like Arizona and New Mexico, but I understand that Florida is growing a lot of them now, too.
In fact, I watched a TV commercial for Florida watermelons today. That was a first! It was odd to see a commercial for one particular fruit and odd to see that it was talking about Florida. So besides Florida oranges and grapefruit, I guess watermelons are a big cash crop for the Sunshine State now.
