1 Year Old Watermelon

By Nita Gill on August 8, 2016 in Fun Blog Videos 7

Have you ever seen a 1 year old watermelon?

About a year ago I bought some watermelons in preparation for a TV appearance on Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family Show. One of the watermelons sat unused for a couple of months. I ended up keeping it just to see what happened. It lasted close to one year before showing signs of mold on the outside.

Watch this video to see how it looked on the inside when it was one year old.

I have never seen the a watermelon’s insides that looked like this. I have never heard of a watermelon lasting this long. Around here the outside gets soft, slimy and then moldy very quickly. I never knew that scars indicate an older melon or that they developed as a melon aged.

Thanks for an interesting video.

“I love all your classes, I now have 19 of your videos. I can’t wait to get the watermelon portrait and pumpkin classes next! Oh, my family loved the chocolate covered strawberries I made them for Valentine’s Day. My Son called to tell me they were absolutely wonderful for my first attempt but I should continue to practice because they wanted more!!!!! You are an awesome teacher, thanks for everything!!!” Cindy

Cynthia Rozich - Happy Customer in Ohio

I am thrilled to say that thanks to your videos & lessons, our 13 yr. old daughter was able to carve a beautiful watermelon rose with leaves. We featured it as the centerpiece in a large fruit buffet that we set up in her school’s Teacher Lounge – as a gesture for one teacher’s upcoming wedding.

We were immediately barraged with compliments and kind words about how stunning the carving was.

One of her teachers actually brought the melon into her classroom to show Sarah’s classmates what she had done! Even at the wedding, we were greeted with continued and repeated “oohs & ahhhs” of that watermelon, and how amazed everyone was that an 8th grader could be so talented!

You helped create a wonderful memory for both our daughter and us, that we will always have – and a skill for her & I that we are excited to continue developing!”
