That's pretty neat that he was able to keep producing them every year. Im trying to figure out, is it a specific species of watermelon plant that produces yellow meat or is it caused by a recessive gene?
@@cainmathewson1857 it's gonna be a recessive gene. It's like apples, many varieties on the same tree because they have a high genetic variation. Pick the ones you like and try to specialize them. I've got some okra I've been replanting because it grows some silly long leaves. Makes them look like floppy eared bunnies.
@@cainmathewson1857there are specific watermelon plants that produce yellow fruits. Yellow was actually the original color of watermelons I believe and they bred them to make them red. Just go to baker creek seeds and they sell yellow watermelon plant seeds there
I've never even heard of any colour other than red. Pretty sure they don't grow here in Aotearoa/ New Zealand. No idea why we don't import them, though. We bring in all sorts of stuff from all around the world. Would love to try them.
@@joyannkjb4l250 Yellow watermelons were the original variety of watermelon before red watermelons, so it's not GMO. Not every variety of fruit you haven't seen before is GMO, they were bred naturally like other varieties. If it was GMO, it would specifically have to be labeled as GMO. Wait until you find out that wild corn is brown instead of the standard yellow corn that you're used to seeing.
Never cut it right "off" the garden unless it early morning. The melon is cooler and the sweetness and flavor are better than a popping sun cooked one. Very nice melon.
Back in the old country Mennonites grew white watermelons that are incredibly sweet (I've only managed to find one once in Manitoba; it was amazing). It's so sugary they'd make syrup out of it and use it instead of honey!
When I was a kid, my sibling and I decided we wanted to grow our own watermelons, so we saved seeds for a few weeks and planted them in the front garden…and it worked! We named our little melon Stan and cared for him and watered him and he was about the size of a football when we showed him to Carl, the boy across the street. And then…Carl plucked Stan off the vine and dropped him in the middle of the road. Carl was a jerk.

The yellow tastes sweeter to most people it also has more antioxidants and stuff in it... But it's harder to grow... So hard in fact that farmers are starting to not grow it... It's good to see a home farmer growing them keeping their species alive
Cave City, Arkansas is famous for their yellow watermelons. Theyre always way sweeter than the red ones and can actualy be hard to get sometimes because of how fast the sell.
A lot of fruit we have today weren't that color when they first started. We have manipulated the genes 2 produce the color n shape that will sell the most pretty much.
