Since I am only using one Melon, cutting this went pretty darn easy. Except for when I started out cutting reds and not melons... oh well, caught it in time (or just a few sets anyway) and should be usable pieces.
I'm doing the 4 at a time method since we are doing sets of 4. Of course, I am cutting large and trimming down but I wonder why she didn't mention this option.
I am alternating days with benedryl or claritin to see what works for me. Does seem to be allergies in my case, we have changed the furnace filter.
