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.

What Customer/Students are Saying about Nita’s Lessons

Dear Nita,

Last Tues. 7/29 we drove from Frederick, Maryland to Columbus, Ohio to attend the carving competition as a amateur.

This is my first time & I got the second place. I’m so happy & I would like to let You know. We so appreciate what You have done to give us all the information & always encourage to love carving!

Once again so thanks for your kindness .

Sincerely,

Trang Pham

“Kudos to you Nita! Thank you so much for the convenience you are offering through your videos and online lessons for us carving fans. I have been collecting tools and books on fruit and vegetable carving for several years now and you are right about some things. Some books are in another language although they have a sequence of photos but even still it’s hard to grasp the flow from beginning to end. It doesn’t compare to watching someone do it. I even traveled with my daughter to take a class out of state but, it was expensive and it was just one class. Your site makes it so convenient because, as you stated, I can view the lessons any time from the comfort of my home which eliminates all the issues involved with traveling and accomodations. Your lessons are just as good as having you here with me in person. You teach clearly, thoroughly and at an easy to follow pace. I love what you have done! This was my birthday gift from my husband by the way. Oh, and I made the watermelon cake from the free lesson for my son’s 25th birthday (because he doesn’t like cake)and it was a hit with him and everyone who saw it. Thank you, thank you! I can’t thank you enough! Keep up the great work! Happy Carving!”

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!”
