“They always get the good kind with seeds, not the tasteless seedless varieties.”
Each year I see fewer seeded watermelons for sale and more of the seedless. Walmart is the last one that has seeded, and not all the time. BUT there is a Walmart that is further away that usually has seed watermelons. It is in a more black neighborhood. So I go there sometimes
BTW -— Seedless watermelon have lots thicker rind. So are a ripoff in this way. Sadly, Americans are getting too lazy to deal with watermelon seeds.
I love watermelon, and if there is absolutely no other choice, I'll eat a seedless one, but I am well aware that it's inferior fruit.
My farmer stand guy has the best ones. He also has cantaloup, and he'll even pick out a good one for me, asking when I intend to eat it and choosing appropriately - if I'm eating it tomorrow, he can pick one that will be at its peak the next day. He can tell by smelling it, but I can't pick a ripe cantaloup to save my life.
