One of the farmers at my local farmer's market tells me that the best watermelons are the ones with scratches on them. He says this means coyotes smelled them, found them desirable and they were trying to break them open when something disturbed them and scared them off. So far, I've bought two like this and I'll be darn if they weren't amazingly sweet. No idea how you could control them, but they are fans of watermelon.
