Like cut it into chunks, put in a baggie and freeze it and have it thaw out okay or would it go to mush? Our Walmart has whole watermelon for under 5 bucks. I wanted to get a bunch of them just because. I know they can sit for a while and not rot if you keep them in a cool dry spot,, But was just wondering.

We lay it out separately on something in the freezer then after frozen put it in batch size zip locks. Other wise if frozen together it will just be a big glob. Never tried water melon tho. Do a trial run on one and see.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Especially thinner rinded melons At the Amish produce auction I go to, when the melons are coming in heavy, they get super cheap. If you buy a dozen, you can often get then for 10 to 50 cents each for watermelons, cantaloupe, honey dew and Aphrodite melons. Singles or doubles, usually don't go below a couple of dollars. Being thrifty, I usually buy the bigger number, for less total money, give a few away, consume some fresh and scoop out and freeze the rest in zip lock freezer bags, or buckets. I've never tried freezing them whole, but should try it. I freeze a lot of corn, strawberries, blueberries and eggplant from the auction too. I can usually get sweet corn for 50 cents to a dollar a dozen at the peak of the crop, which makes it not worth growing. Keith
