Silly me 
You know how it goes Knock Knock on your Melons and if they sound hollow and have a dried stem on the end they are ready for picking, well this one was hollow alright with a big brown mark on top so I thought I had better cut it off even though the stem was green.
Back to the Kitchen cut it open
I have never seen a white Watermelon before
I have seen Pale pink and every pink you could think of even red.
This was a shock..
Even the seeds were green.
And it did not taste the best but I had to have a go 
Took it down to the Girls..
I think they liked it..
Me well  
In future I will wait till that stem is brown
Not to worry Folks there are still three more where that came from

Hippy heaven MA, think they grow all kinds of organic matter down that way 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

find on the shelves at Coles

We get what is called Gold Tops here in the far north,if you eat those,
they will send you into a land of funny dreams ,if you get my drift.

You have to know what to look for, the poisonous toadstool mushroom here in NZ have a light yellow colour underneath and the skin on top doesn`t peel off the the eatable kind.
They will be just days away form popping up in the horse paddock over the road.
I can sense some more photos coming up  |

We get mushrooms in our grass but I am not game enough to eat them
I ate some years ago that I picked in a paddock and was as sick as a dog..
So only eat the supermarket ones now.

then we pig out on them
