Watermelon for the 4th of July.

Nothing says summer in Texas like cold, sweet watermelon at the cookout. Order ahead so you are not scrambling.

The 4th sells out fast

The days around July 4th are the busiest of the whole watermelon season. The sweetest melons go quickly, so ordering ahead is the difference between a perfect cookout and a last-minute grocery-store gamble.

How much to get

A good rule: one medium watermelon feeds about 8–12 people as a side. For a big cookout, order a couple of whole melons plus a case of watermelon juice for the kids and the heat.
