I don't know the guys hours or days. I've got the last melon on Friday and the previous one on either a Wednesday or a Thursday.
He charges ten bucks for one of these. That's more than a sale-priced "seedless" watermelon but is more than twice as much to eat and about a bazillion times better.
Previously, I have bought seeded watermelons at a couple of places around here. There's a fruit stand on 27 just short of where you get on the southbound Florida Turnpike and they charge $20 and aren't remotely as good as this. The fruit & veggie guy at the Brownwood farmer's market on Saturdays in front of Scooples has started bring in a couple of seeded watermelons each week. He was charging eight bucks if I recall and they weren't bad, but not as good as the Micro Racetrack guy (I will have to ask for his name next time I get a melon as it's kind of disrespectful to keep referring to him as "that guy").
