Interesting Facts About Watermelons 🍉

• Watermelons are made up of about 90% water, making them one of the most refreshing fruits.

How Watermelons Grow 🌱

Watermelons grow best in warm, sunny places. Farmers plant seeds in the spring, and small vines start to spread across the ground. Tiny yellow flowers bloom on the vines, and after pollination, a small watermelon begins to grow. It takes about three months for a watermelon to become big and ripe.

When a watermelon is ready to eat, its skin turns a darker shade of green, and the spot where it rests on the ground changes to yellow. Farmers tap on the fruit to check if it sounds hollow, which means it is juicy and ripe.
