Watermelon Yellow Petite
How did nature come up with watermelons? Why can’t they fit into fridges? Why is parallel parking even a thing? We don’t have all the answers. In fact, we have a lot more questions. But this cute, compact watermelon will fit perfectly into even the smallest fridge, so there’s that.
The humble watermelon is a well-travelled fruit. It’s been grown all over the world in its time, and now it shall grow in your garden. Go forth and prosper, little yellow watermelon. You’re going to be delicious while I watch How To Be Single and eat you all by myself.
