I have asked myself this same question!. I have included a link that explains the process of growing a seedless watermelon!. Hope it helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Seed Production!. The obvious question asked about growing seedless watermelons is: "How does one obtain seed of a seedless watermelon!?" Obviously, you cannot save seed from a seedless watermelon!. So, where do the seeds come from!? Simply stated, the number of chromosomes (the threadlike bodies within cells that contain the inheritance units called genes) in a normal watermelon plant is doubled by the use of the chemical colchicine!. Doubling a normal (diploid) watermelon results in a tetraploid plant (one having four sets of chromosomes)!. When the tetraploid plant is bred back, or pollinated, by a diploid or normal plant, the resulting seed produces a triploid plant that is basically a "mule" of the plant kingdom, and it produces seedless watermelons!. Seed of seedless varieties are available from most major seed companies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
