BTW, seedless melons are terrific. The flesh is what I call “tight” or “dense”. IOW, they don’t fall apart when you cut them because there is no seed channel. Most of the time they are sweeter too. And I think the yield per melon of usable slices is better, which is why I don’t mind paying a little more for them. I hope you get them soon in Panama.

I wonder if they have the same propagation properties as regular watermelons? I was always told that you cannot grow watermelons in the same ground year after year. Can any of the southern gardeners tell me if that is true?

I apologise for being wa-ay OT, here. It’s just a “stream of consciousness” thing. ;)

“BTW, seedless melons are terrific.”

You are kidding!!!

I am going to the supermarket this morning and will check it out.

A stupid question...how are seedless melons planted? Do they plant the root?
