I'm gonna have to buy seeds every year. If I want to plant more than one variety of melon. I don't have enough space to hide them from the pollinators so they don't cross pollinate. That sucks

Nice! I grew Jubilee in my backyard one year and was amazed they even grew in the suburbs. Got 2 big ones.

Next year try growing some desert King yellow watermelons. They are by far my favorite. Most will be 20-25 pounds but every year I'll have 5-6 pushing 40 pounds. Disease and drought tolerant too. I planted those this year and got a 45lb one that looked like a beach ball. I only got 5 total this year but they all were 30# up. I ordered about 10 heirloom varities last week. Will give them a go next year.

I can text a pic if someone can post it.
