July 16, 2015 at 9:44 amHey Kath! Just FYI, that Alexandra’s Kitchen recipe doesn’t actually contain watermelon. It is “watermelon radish” not “watermelon, radish”. It still look likes a beautiful recipe though – as per usual with the stuff Alexandra cooks!

July 16, 2015 at 10:20 amYum! I’ll definitely try the Popsicles!
I went MANY years thinking I hated watermelon only to discover I loved it! My husband and I eat at least 2 or 3 large watermelons a week in the summer!

July 16, 2015 at 10:26 amI don’t think there’s watermelon in the first recipe…..it’s actually watermelon radish.

July 16, 2015 at 10:52 amUgh, I have had ZERO watermelon this summer and I am so sad about it!! I keep saying I’m going to go get a watermelon, then I forget… haha need to do that before it goes out of season! 😉

July 16, 2015 at 10:56 amI had no idea that watermelon was so high in vitamin A! I’ve noticed that when my vitamin A intake is high, my skin is super clear- time to pick up some watermelon today!

July 16, 2015 at 11:10 amYour first recipe doesn’t actually have watermelon in it, but rather watermelon radish! Still tasty, but FYI:)

July 16, 2015 at 11:19 amFor years I avoided watermelon because I considered it an annoyance to cut up and I was always scared that I would pick a gross gritty one. Last summer I decided to give it another try and I am glad I did! Worth the effort and the gamble maybe getting a gritty one. Watermelon has been a summer staple in our home. Looking forward to trying a few of the recipes! Thanks!

July 16, 2015 at 3:05 pmSuch an awesome roundup of recipes! I just recently heard of yellow watermelon-has pretty much the same taste, but the color definitely left me a bit confused for a minute.

July 17, 2015 at 4:59 pmCan you clarify the nutritional deterioration after seven days of storage? Is this from the moment it hits the grocery shelf? The delivery truck? Your house?
