When will Yuyao alpine watermelon mature?

Yuyao alpine watermelon ripens in early August. The price of this kind of alpine watermelon produced in Luting Township, Yuyao City is generally 8- 10 yuan/kg. In recent ten days, people often drive from Ningbo to Luting Township for more than an hour in order to taste the taste of alpine watermelon. The alpine watermelon in Luting Township is mainly planted in Bailu Village, and the variety is "Huilan" yellow watermelon. Walking into Bailu Village, the reporter saw watermelons planted on the terraced fields. When the weather is hot and there is little rain, farmers rely on manpower to carry water and water watermelons. Because of the high altitude in the mountainous area and the large temperature difference between day and night, the watermelons here are sweet and full of water. According to Gong Yunchang, secretary of the Party branch of Bailu Village, the watermelon planting area in the village this year is about 800 mu. Due to the lack of rain this year, the quality of watermelon is the best in the past four years, and farmers have a good harvest. According to the normal situation, the early August of each year is the peak season for picking mountain watermelons, but this year the weather is hot, the maturity is one week earlier than in previous years, and the duration of the peak season is shortened from more than 12 days in previous years to more than ten days. Gong Yunchang said that the harvest of mountain watermelons depends on the grace of God: "In the first three years, there was a lot of rain in June and July every year, some watermelons rotted, and the remaining watermelons were poor in sweetness. There is little rain this year, and the quality of the first crop of melons is quite good, but there are also some disadvantages. The weather is too hot, and the second melon will be sunburned as soon as it turns out, so the peak season will be shortened. "
