Anyone have luck with seedless watermelons?

gssgarden · January 28, 2008

I had purchased Orchid Seet Hybrid and Red Ice last year from Territorial Seed but ran out of room, (too many Ambrosia cantaloupe) to plant so I'll try it this year. Orchid is yellow and Red Ice is....well, red.

Any tricks to growing them?

How far away is o.k. from other melons? Mine will be across the yard about 100+'.

Friends have told me the taste doesn't compare to seeded ones. Any thoughts?

They gave the pollinator seed and suggest one pollinator plant to three seedless plants.

I usually throw two or three seeds in a hole and watch 'em go. I'm going to throw two seeds and the pollinator together.

Remember I'm new at this but, Will the pollinator seed/plant produce seedless fruit? The instructions mention seedles plants but nothing about what the pollinator seed will do.

Thanks from a seedless newbie,

Greg
