One of the small ones split right in half. I'm guessing too much growth too fast in the heat of the summer. I was watching my big one closely and wanted to pick it but the hubs wanted to wait until 4th of July. I wanted to cry when a week before the 4th the big one split in half too. It looked like it would have been wonderful. I picked the remaining personal sized one immediately and it was great. So next year I'll be picking early.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-65891624135762783352011-09-27T15:05:50.970-07:002011-09-27T15:05:50.970-07:00I'm in south Florida.
