I knew about using watermelon if one has a tendency to retain water...it acts as a diuretic .....but now I know there is so much more to this delicious fruit!

I'm kind of happy that Jim hates watermelon! I get to have it all by my lonesome!
The little ones here are more expensive than the larger ones. I have seen the larger ones go from $2.99 - 5.99.

The small ones are 4.99 - 5.99. I'd still buy them ....figure about $2.00 for a slice isn't that bad, is it...

LOL! I end up eating most of it....I'm not complaining about that! The kids will have a couple of pieces only.  I need to find a way to stretch our food monies....and I feel real guilty if I'm the one who is enjoying something that the others are not. So we go with bananas, oranges, strawberries etc...

Mona...

I may find them perhaps four times a year, lower than a dollar....I guess it depends on where they are coming from?

Let me tell you about strawberries!  Unless I buy organic, I won't eat them. I saw the special on TV and it was horrific. The rampant use of pesticides on them! It's the only way they can get them to grow big...if you notice, they don't really have a good strawberry taste! And even if you wash them ...

We have a strawberry patch out back...so during the summer we have our own organic supply. I don't fertilize them at all but I do use our dirt from our compost box to put around them in the Spring. I cover them with wire also so the birdies don't get a feed before we do!
