TENDER LOVING CARE




I love this: the angurie on sale get their very own parasol!




And I wonder how much TLC it took to produce these giant white onions from nearby Giarratana?

They look like watermelons to me. Bit early for the good ones, yes?

That's exactly what they are, James. Now is the best time for them here.

I love it. We have a delicious watermelon at the moment. It reminds of us of our childhood as we always grew watermelons, which frankly grew like weeds.

Hi, jmb. Watermelons for me are the symbol of an Ital summer. They never tasted the same in Britain.

I love those pics...somehow they are very warming to me. :)

I love watermelon...once I start eating watermelon, I can't stop until I've finished!!!

Love the parasol, doesn't it restore your faith in Italy despite ferragosto!

We have to wait until late August, early September ehre. They do come out earlier but they are not juicy.

I thought I had posted on the watermelons earlier, guess I hadn't. Ate a lot of them when I was a kid. Lots of watermelons are grown in California.

Lee, I'm exactly the same! Hi, Sally, yes, it somehow does! Hi, James. Interesting to learn they are at their best later there. Here they disappear in September. steve, I didn't receive any earlier comment from you on this one. I imagine water melons must be very refreshing in the California sun.
