July is #NationalWatermelonMonth and there's nothing quite like a juicy watermelon on a hot summer day. Here are a few expert tips to ensure the perfect pick.
🍉 Give it a tap - it should sound hollow
🍉 Look for a large yellow field spot (a white field spot means it's not ripe yet)
🍉 You want lots of large webbing
🍉 The stem should be brown and dried out (a green stem indicates it was picked before ripe)

Meet Jacky Frazer, The Barefoot Farmer. A few years into the venture, when Frazier couldn’t find a market for his crop, he started selling it on the side of the road. Luckily, that road was just then in the process of becoming the busiest on St. Helena, shepherding visitors to the tranquil shores of Hunting Island. “I only intended to grow some watermelon and maybe a few other crops, and then I got stuck,” he said. “But it’s not a bad place to be stuck.”

Meet Davey Dempsey, a growing legend. During spring months, people come from miles around to pick their own strawberries at Dempsey Farms. plucking the sweet juicy berries right from the soil.
And while this u-pick farm has its fans from across the Lowcountry, perhaps no one is a bigger fan than Davey’s grandson, Greyson, nicknamed Bubby.
“He loves this place. When children come, he’ll grab a basket and head out into the field with them,” said Dempsey. “Bubby’s the fifth generation to farm right here on this spot.”
Davey’s son and Greyson’s father, Warren, has also stepped up, working the fields and welcoming crowds to pick their own fruit right alongside his father.
