MATTHEW L. OF INDIANAPOLIS, IN ASKS: Where can I get seeded watermelon? I would like to have them shipped to me or I\u2019ll pick them up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hear you loud and clear, Matthew. It seems like all you can find these days are seedless watermelons, but every now and then, for old time\u2019s sake, it would be nice to have one with seeds, right?<\/p>\n

While the seedless and mini varieties have taken over in popularity and demand, there certainly are still many folks who grow and sell the seeded watermelons, oblong in shape, chock full of black seeds. I get a lot of comments from people who remember the long, sweet watermelons of their youth and do not think that the seedless varieties are as good, but there is no science that supports the notion that a seeded watermelon is sweeter than a seedless.<\/p>\n

If you really have a yearning for seeded watermelons, there are two things you can do: 1) check your local farmers\u2019 markets and 2) talk to your local produce manager at your grocery store. He can take the request up to the store\u2019s buyers. If a buyer believes that his customers will buy a seeded watermelon, he\u2019ll be more apt to supply for the store. If he won\u2019t stock seeded watermelon (which isn\u2019t likely), ask him if he knows where you might find some.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps,<\/p>\n
