I tried Tigerella one year, didn’t work out. Years before I’d tried the Galia and a couple of supposedly tasty French melons, bupkis. OTOH, back when I was younger and fitter, I successfully grew Black Diamond, and in a different year Moon & Stars (or maybe it was yellow fleshed Moon & Stars).

In the 1950's my dad grew a Black Diamond watermelon that won the regional large watermelon prize that year. Congressman Frank Boykin took it and claims to have given the watermelon to president Truman.

This is one of the ways I earned money as a teenager.(That's a familiar scene to me, even today around here)

I’ve got a volunteer crop of Indian jewel corn growing on our little farm (vineyard) in Israel. My daughters planted a crop years ago and then grew up and abandoned it when they went to college.

Beautiful but just tastes like corn. Probably deemed an invasive species in Israel but I’m going to leave it alone. Bugs don’t bother it.
