Re: [seedsavers] Seedless watermelons



I have grown seedless watermelon without any nearby (I'm in a dense urban area) melons to cross-polinate and they fruited fine.

"If you grow seedless melons, you must plant a standard seeded
variety alongside. The seedless melon varieties do not have the fertile
pollen necessary to pollinate and set the fruit."

This directly contradicts what the Farmer said...before they pollinate."
The farmer was making a foll of the guy... who would end up
with melonless melons. "Yep. No seeds will be in in them thar melons..."

But wait... aren't seedless melons "OT" here?
