"Who would have thought you could grow watermelons outdoors in October?" Xia Yue wondered. She found it quite astonishing that they could still cultivate large, outdoor watermelons this late in the year.
"Surprisingly, we were actually successful in growing them. We just wanted to experiment a bit, and before we knew it, it worked. Moreover, it grew in less time and it's ripe enough for consumption. We even tasted a few the other day. The texture was good and it had a nice balance of sweetness. Apart from people with diabetes who aren't advised to consume it, everyone else can have their fill," said Professor Hao as he walked into the watermelon field, squatted down, and selected the watermelons.
"But these are too large, aren't they? It seems like they might not be easy to sell since a family of four might not be able to finish one in one go," Xia Yue said skeptically, looking at the watermelons, which were significantly larger than the average size.
