I don't think I have seen a watermelon with seeds in years.  Even the ones we got all summer at costco were seedless whether they were the small ones or the large ones.  I just figured watermelon with seeds was a thing of the past.

Wendy,
There is a move on to go back to growing open-pollenated heirloom fruits and veggies. Looks as if all the watermelons we grew were non-hybrid but some of the cantelopes were hybrid. The seeds for those hybrids are VERY EXPENSIVE. there were other kinds of cantelopes we grew that were not hybrid. I have good reason now not to buy hybrid seeds.
