Everyone nowadays seems to be going towards the same strain or two of smaller sized seedless watermelon!.!.!.you can't find the huge behemoth melons full of seeds that from about ten years ago!. And yeah, the seedless watermelons just aren't as sweet, and don't have those HUGE hearts the old school melons used to have!. I tried looking around for farmers that might grow heirloom varieties but have had no luck!.!.!.so sad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have to make sure your watermelon is ripe, but not overripe!. A heavy watermelon is ripe and full of juice!. Considering that it is still spring now is not the best time for watermelon, most watermelons are not great until the end of June!. That said I've been able to pick up a few great watermelons recently!. The best tasting one had the most seeds!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
