Jeff's Growing Update

Watermelon Buyers: Our Red Seedless Watermelons, Regular Seeded and Yellow Flesh Watermelons are doing very well in our fields in Coachella Valley east of Los Angeles. The warm days and warm nights really produce rapid growth; at times, I have measured the melons growing 2 inches in a 24 hour period. Our Harvest Contractor indicates with normal weather we should be harvesting the earliest melons the first week of May. Right now the Watermelons are the size of a Softball (see pics) We have an Organic Watermelon field this year in the Imperial Valley we will harvest a few weeks later than our early Coachella fields.
