This variety works for:

  • Fresh eating


Nothing compares to the experience of eating fresh watermelon slices on a warm summer day. Watermelon flesh can also be used for cold soups with citrus or in salads with arugula and feta cheese.


To make a refreshing watermelon granita, or frozen ice, blend 4 cups of watermelon flesh that has been cubed and seeded with 1/4 cup of sugar and juice from half of a lime. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for 1-3 hours. You can then scrape the ice with a fork and serve with mint or basil.


Some people pickle the rinds of watermelons with cider vinegar and pickling spices or with a combination of sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. These pickles are a great addition to appetizer trays at parties.

Fun and easy watermelon

by

Great little watermelon. Super fun to grow and the white flesh is fun to eat.

Uniquely Flavored Watermelon.

by

I have raised Cream of Saskatewan on 3%+ OM loam soils for about 20 years, with consistent success. It has a unique citrusy, clean, refreshing, sweet flavor that is reminiscent of lemon lime soda, but without the syrupy sweetness. It seems to have pretty good pest and disease resistance as well. I only grow two varieties of watermelon and this is one of them.
