Extension horticulturist Dr. Chuck Marr explains how to tell when watermelons are ripe. On many varieties the curl at the fruit stem attachment curls as it ripens and dies when ripe. For Crimson Sweet and Charleston Gray, fruit is not ripe until a week after the curl dies.
Gardners use hollow thump to judge melon ripeness but small or solid varieties may not sound hollow until overripening. Best check involves visual cues at the belly of melons like Crimson Sweet Charleston Gray and Black Diamond which often turn buttery in color.
Guidance on identifying ripe melons by color and stem freshness. Also advice on wheat bin management, insect checks, fumigation, and storage conditions to meet EPA kernel damage standards. Weekly sampling with a probe and thermometer, moving hot spots, and following label directions for fumigants. Avoid residual odors and re aerate bins after fumigation.
Manhattan horticulturist Larry D Leuthold of Kansas State University urges over seeding a lawn when 50 percent or more is desirable grass. Seed cool season grasses now through September 15 with fall moisture, mow to an inch and a half, power rake lightly, fertilize once with one pound of annual nitrogen per 1000 sq ft, seed in two directions, water to keep surface moist, and overseed early to avoid winter frost.
Don Crane of the Kassas Association of Wheat Growing says wheat for food use is ample for American families. He dismisses shortages concerns tied to a one dollar loaf, cites milling inventories supported by government programs, and opposes export controls as harmful to orderly marketing. He urges producers to maintain stability and cautions against panic.
