Seedless Watermelon Seed/ Sources?

CLa · January 9, 2007

I'm looking for the best(largest sweetest productive, southern heat adaptable) 'Seedless" watermelon to grow.

I have the room to grow them, just can't seem to find a good honest website/seed source that has a nice selection. Thinking on a good long keeping variety for a pollinator also. Any info would be helpful thanks!

I can't recommend a specific variety for you but have you looked at www.willhiteseed.com in Texas? They have tons of melon varieties, many hybrids. You may be able to find something that interests you.

That is a great site but $11.00 for 25 orange sunshine seeds. DARN

Well I guess considering what they go through to get them they have to charge that much.
And that still breaks down to about 25 cents a melon not considering labor and water.

None of us consider labor do we?:wink:

They had orange sunshine at Burpee 5 bucks for 10. So instead of ordering the the 25, I ordered 2 different ones at burpee. a red one also. I'll post pics in the summer and details on how it goes.
