Suika

Lots of watermelon! We harvested about15 basketball sized round watermelon from the field. These do not grow much larger - not like the big oval ones in the US. A medium sized watermelon in season will cost $10 in the supermarket but the farmer gets about half that. They have seeds but are very sweet and tasty. A few exploded in the field so the dog got to enjoy those.

Honey, our golden retriever,has a real taste for watermelon and tomatoes. She barks at the greenhouse when the tomatoes ripen - she's a tomato alarm. She likes daikon too - she'll dig through the compost looking for half rotted daikon - she loves them like that. Maybe the dog is vegetarian?
