Not cucumis but...

Well, 34° is very hot wow! Drink a lot of water Porfyhr!
Here we are having a cold day... not COLD! but a very nice wind is here: 26°.
It must be hot for you huh Casper?

Here we rarely have hot days like this, but sometimes it goes 40°C on summer. If I liked watermelons, I would eat a lot of them.
The only Cucumis I like is this one.

I think pluiepoco should take a look on Porfyhr's post.

Yes! Maybe the things he said exists only in his country... Or in really reeeeally northern countries from Europe.
YOU DON'T LIKE TO EAT WATERMELONS? oh... hehe. I love them.
"See" you all...

Thathavieira...

Do you know any countries "really reeeeally northern" of Sweden and Norway in Europe I could only think of a small part of Russia and The northern Iceland... and Pluiepoco isn't from those countries.

By the way I hate the pits in watermelon but nowadays they are possible to get without the ugly brown ones... I don't like grapes with pits either.

I have tried to post a picture by both IMG and URL but it doesn't work... stupid me... Couldn't someone show a complete line for posting a picture and just change [ ] to ( ) so Tantine and I can send you lovely pictures from Corse and Sweden...

Uh, genetics!
Maybe where Santa lives... hehehe.

Porfyhr, here's the link to the page with the syntax for putting a picture in your post (and a few other useful tricks):

I've heard you can even get square watermelons in some countries (Japan?) - they're easier to ship because you can stack them!

Here's a link to an article about them ...

So, Thatha & Kafetzou,

If I do this: you should see some of those square melingrana

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss



Finally I'm even learning computer technology on cucumis, this really is the greates site in the univers

Hi, Casper!

Can you translate your post to English (maybe converting from °C to °F ), for more cucumers can laugh after it, too?

Very spirituous! (Can I say this in English?)

Well not to be boring but it would be nice to read the text in english with temperatures in Celsius (He was swedish btw. Anders Celsius!).

I have found out that we "living in the really, reeeeally, northen europe" do cultivate melon. As a matter a fact
is grown here, couldn't we get a skin for cucumis with its colours...

Holy cow! Thank you Kafetzou, Thathavieira and Caspertavernello for your help...

I have posted a picture...



PS. The melon is called Cucumis melo var. reticulata, "nätmelon" in swedish.

Very funny story casper told!(I laughed a lot! -I'm not from Belo Horizonte though!-)
I could understand most of it (and with the help of this little Systran bo amazing!for some words I didn't know.)


We also got melons till the beginning of XXth century in Normandy,

but except one specy which originally is from Britanny and is called "petit gris de Rennes" (cucumis melo), our rainy and not too sunny climate doesn't allow to get tasty ones (it isn't worth to use other seeds than "petit gris de Rennes" as this is the only one to be tasty, other seeds giving cloying fruits here...)

Oh, what a conversation I didn't see! I was eating pizza with my family hehe.
Casper, if everything you told about Pernambucanos could happend, I can imagine what would be my destiny here in Fortaleza... Where we have a media of 1-2° more than Pernambuco...
Tantine! You did it! Oh how cute are the squared watermelons... (Although I think is a little useless thing to do... hehehe... Even fruits are having aesthetic treatment now!) But is cute...
What's their cientific name? Cucumis sativus exquadra?
this really is the greatest site in the universe ← This is truth!
Porfyhr, I love this kind of melon! Here we call it Melão Almost the same! And Cucumis sativus is Melancia.
Oh beautiful biology!

Well, a little effort and it might work, I had a try with "img", and now "flimg"...

I like flimg, but sometimes the words disappear! uuh...

I didn't control too much the way words are displaid around the pics, but I'm glad I succeeded. Right click and copy-paste url from the pic is something I just discovered today, so that I could edit my yesterday post...

Watermelon is not a member of the Cucumis family!!!!!!!!!!

Cucurbitaceae Citrullus lanatus

Erm, if this is an over eighteen's discussion, you will be astonished by this one:



Its a capsicum annuum, a red hot chile pepper!!

It's common name is penis pepper, or Peter Pepper in front of the children.
