Watermelon

Watermelon is native to Africa. The most popular in the United States is the long oval shaped variety or striped two-tone green. They average fifteen to thirty-five pounds. Watermelon is available May through September. In Japan, farmers figured out a way to grow square watermelons to save space. However, they cost a premium.
