Watermelon

              Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a vine-like flowering plant originally from southern Africa. Its fruit, which is also called watermelon, is a special kind referred to by botanists as a pepo, a berry which has a thick rind and fleshy center.
              A watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 92% water by weight. Watermelon is mildly diuretic and contains large amounts of beta carotene. As with many other fruits, it is a source of vitamin C.  Watermelon rinds, usually a light green or white color, are also edible and contain many hidden nutrients, but most people avoid eating them due to their unappealing flavor. Watermelons have a longer growing period than other garden plants and can often take up to 85 days of growing to mature.
