A Watermelon! Really?

What’s square and green and fits into a small refrigerator perfectly? 

 A watermelon!!

If a fat round melon poses a problem for you in your motorhome or tiny apartment refrigerator than do what Japanese farmers did for their consumers. 

Grow a square watermelon or other stuff with a few sheets of polycarbonate and some gate hinges.  Resourceful farmers found a clever but pricey solution by inserting the melons into square boxes while they were still growing on the vine.  Many Japanese consumers love watermelon but have limited refrigerator space.

This designer fruit hasn’t made it’s way into U.S. grocery stores yet, but if you have a garden and a green thumb you can always give it a try.  Think how much fun a summer party would be when a cubed shaped watermelon shows up.
