Tackle it Tuesday
We tackled one of the garden grown watermelons...
I have kept them refrigerated in the garage refer
Dove grabbed the camera
The seeds of the Moon and Star melons are very large and full bodied.
The children were asking Why in our home grown melons are there seeds.
My Tackle is to continue to teach the way of life
This time in regards to the foods eaten.
In responce to Dash I spoke of how the SEEDLESS melons are of little life use after eaten once.
We however will have been able to have eaten many times off of one melon by harvesting the seeds and saving them.
Daddy Man came in after supper and after the desert to ask of the melon on the counter.
They were all looking forward to enjoying it.
He spoke so kindly to the children of the efforts I had made to fix the supper.
He praised my efforts to grow our melon.
It was Dove who then took camera to hand to document these things.
She told us mainly her father...to smile wide this is going on moms blog she anounced.
She was proud of me.
She was impressed and full of gratitude over the melon.
She was so loving to me and so impressed by the live given in the melon and the seed that will live on.
Although I have saved well over 100 seeds from the other melon.
We set up another paper towel lined plate and saved the seeds from this one.
Next year with further education on care of the crop our melons will be even better.
Teach your children well that they may live long.
It may not be easy but see the rewards weeks later.
She was proud of the food that was home grown.
She gained her lesson.
I am pleased.
p.s.Dove asked if I were going to give the seeds to others so they could grow them also and save the seeds as well.
Wise kid!
Let me know if you would like to plant some and I will mail you a few seeds.
We can exchange address over emails

Hi Donetta,
I'm impressed you grow your own watermelons. The seeds are a great way of teaching about life. The seedless watermelons taste good, but there's a reason God put seeds in watermelons.
It's nice to hear from you today. Here's the url for my husband's blog.
