Description

In the Philippines when Makeshift Watermelon Fruit Stands are appearing on roadsides from Manila to Baguio this indicates that its already in Summer and Watermelons are now in season.

In Bulacan, folks say that when the pakwan appear on the vines then its near time for the sinakulo (Pasion Play / Holy Week).

Knocking on Melons and knowing the right thump is the way to determine the readiness of the fruit.

Pampanga is one of the province that some of the watermelon seeds are prepared and sold.
