Tip of the Day - Always Wash Your Melons!

Before you cut a melon, always give it a good scrub under running water.  Melons have lots of nooks and crannies for bacteria to hide. When you cut into an unwashed melon your knife can pick up that bacteria and spread it into the flesh of the fruit, which will then be eaten.  Yuk!

When you're done peeling the rinds off, be sure and toss them into your compost pile!
