SMF - Just Installed!
So I was checking out a new farmers market for a potential new place to sell. I bought a watermelon from a Nepalese guy, got home opened it up and thought it was a seedless. Upon further inspection I found it wasn't seedless, but had miniature seeds, about as many as a average melon would have. The melon was beautiful and sweet and about the size of a sugarbaby. When eating it you cannot tell the is even any seeds in there they are that small.I remember seeing a tiny seeded melon on 2seeds in a pod website for sale, but assumed the melon itself would be very small so never pursued it. It's called "tiny seeded south American" the pictures on the website look pretty similar to the melon I bought.These would be great for a "seedless" variety but with seeds that you can select and breed quite easy.Has anybody had anything to do with this melon?
A little seed of watermelon have less reserv of nutrient for germinate.She is more sensitive and less vigorous than a big seed if she germinate in a bad conditions?
My Costa Rican Thin Rind watermelon has pretty small seeds, but then again it is a pretty small melon (baseball sized at it's maximum)
