1 hour ago, Anna N said:I don’t eat a lot of watermelon but yours looks quite different from the ones I have seen. The colour is much more intense and the rind much, much thinner.
I don't eat a lot, either. I kind of overdosed on watermelon when I first came to China. It is everywhere and so cheap.
That was a particularly fine example. Very red! I picked it up at the local market this morning. The rind is a bit thinner than usual for here, but not by much.
I don't know much about watermelon horticulture, but there are different cultivars. Also, China produces over 60% of the total world supply, so I guess they've got something figured out.
This is a "seedless" variety, although it does have a few tiny. little, yellowish seeds rather than the normal, larger black seeds.
