"Seedless" Watermelon, Second Generation ~ Last year we bought a watermelon from the store and I found one seed inside, planted it in the spring, and from the homegrown fruit, I saved about 64 seeds. It was small, but tasted sweet and refreshing.

About 64 seeds were saved.

The fruit, before it was cut, was in the shape of a pear.

Looks tasty, shame it wasn't bigger. Our bell peppers are like that, they're good but tiny. It's interesting the seedlessness didn't transfer over.

You previously showed your pepper plant in a pot against a fence in a corner. I'm glad you are getting bell peppers, even if they are small.

Since you grow in containers, you may be interested to know that this watermelon was from a vine growing in a pot, and not a very big pot either.
