Rove.me–July and August are the peak season for fresh and juicy watermelons. They are the largest annual horticulture crop in Texas.

Harvest season starts in April in the lower Rio Grande Valley; in June and July watermelons are ripe in the Winter Garden and East Texas, and in August the Rolling Plains area is ready for harvest. Late summer and early fall harvests of watermelon can be found in the Southern High Plains.

Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster” for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2.

The governor’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, confirmed late Friday that the request for federal aid was denied.
