“Where do they get the seed to plant seedless watermelon?”
When growing ‘seedless’ watermelon, you start two plants together - one will produce fruit for you, but the other is the one that does the pollinating so you get the fruit. It does not produce any fruit, itself.
‘Seedless’ is kind of a misnomer; there will still be seeds in it, but they are small and white, not big and brown and good for spittin’ contests. ;)
Seedless watermelons come from a hybrid of two types of seeded watermelon that are not compatible genetically........
