A watermelon takes about 90 days to grow, from planting to harvesting. The word “watermelon” first appeared in the English dictionary in 1615. It's said that watermelon cultivation began in the Nile Valley as early as the second millennium B.C. Early explorers used watermelons as canteens. Watermelon is 92% water.
August 3 is National Watermelon Day, and throughout summer, the backyard mainstay is added to drinks and served as dessert at barbecues across the country.
