I was given some seeds of yellow watermelon to grow. This year I did just that and boy did they produce for me. This one was 20 pounds.
Big yellow sweet melons. But the drought was hard on the melons. Several were split by deer and overwatering. But the few I saved were over the top tasty.
The grower did not know why the skins were white but the inside is normal and yellow. I gave some starts to a fellow gardener and hers were also very sweet and white on the outside.
The seed were from a farmer in Salem, Missouri. I wanted to save this line so I did not plant any other type of melon so the seeds will carry the same dna next year.
