    Summertime just wouldn't be the same without watermelon. When grown along with a companion vegetable like okra, watermelon comprises a big part of a great summer garden. On this episode, you'll learn the secret to growing sweet, juicy melons and plump, crisp okra pods. You'll also discover what the melon "thump" really means and how to protect yourself from okra's prickly hairs. In the "Homegrown Hint" segment, Joe shows you how to save seed – the collection and storage of seeds for future planting to save you time and money.
