I understand from a woman I met at the grocery that the Farmer's Market has big luscious seeded watermelons--allegedly sweeter than the seedless--for sale every day. I'm going.

Who really cares? Seriously. Next, you'll be telling us that you're going to
buy some aspirin and new dish towels.

Your logic is defective again. The farmer's market here didn't have any
watermelons WITH SEEDS last week. That answers your last question.
Your original message stated that YOUR farmer's market DID have this type of
watermelon, but you included no specific location. So, anyone in this group
who doesn't know where you live would find your information of no value. Get
it now?

Hmmm.... I knew California seceded but was Texas EVER a part?
Anyway, I won't say were 'here' is, but 'here' some less than honest
vendors inject water into their watermelons to make them heavier. The
local watermelons are slightly smaller than a basketball and just as
round, but taste sweet. But I won't buy them from streetside vendors,
only larger markets. The water used to inject them often comes from the
rice paddies and is not exactly pure.... Actually, the water that comes
from our taps is often not even as pure as the water in the rice
paddies. I have to clean the filters from the washing machine and the
water heater EVERY DAY because of mud build-up!

Nice to see you gain, Steve.
The watermelons here in Louisiana are about $4.99 for seeded or
seedless. You can buy huge, seeded watermelons on the side of the road,
that are $10, but they are huge watermelons.

I just want to see if it is true that the seeded are sweeter than the
seedless.

Eyyuuu. I feel pretty good about the watermelons I've been buying.
They taste too good to be adulterated.

Killfile: An attempt to silence those who point out how stupid your posts
