Sandia!!!! I used to enjoy it best when a small quarter sized hole was bored out of it and a bottle of stoly turned upside down into it to get soaked.

The problem I'm starting to think about is all the huge agri-businesses are shallowing up the produce gene pool by using only those few GMO (genetically modified organism) Monsanto seeds. Instead of 50 varieties of corn, we get 6. This guy's watermelon may be an endangered species, so enjoy now and keep an eye on the future. As we lose variety in our produce we lose the diversity of nutrients and we risk losing everything in a blight. Between them both, Dupont and Monsanto provide 50% of the seeds used in large scale agri-business. Not terribly hard for an adverse government (rhymes with China) to create their own targeted diseases to wipeout our food supply.

Here's the wikipedia link to Monsanto: Monsanto - Wikipedia
