    As light hearted as you're trying to make it I think it all sounds quite scary. Got a seedless melon in my fridge right now. Used to have a choice in the grocery store - seedless or not. But I think that choice is disappearing along with the seeds.

    • @ziggybender9125
      @ziggybender9125 Рік тому +1

      I know this is a very old comment but it's relevant. Seedless watermelons can grow a mature seed but usually just 1 per melon and the melon has to be left on the vine till fully ripe, on watermelon farms where the grocery store gets their supply from they harvest some watermelons a bit less ripe than others. Once I learned all the tricks of checking for a ripe watermelon I was able to choose the sweetest watermelon I've ever had and it had 1 single seed that went straight into the ground and it grew, so I bought another one and that one too had a single mature seed. From there I learned about how you must plant a seeded variety next to it and cross pollinate them for fruit to grow. Well I did that and I currently have 3 seedless watermelons growing bigger by the day along with a few sugar baby melons I use to pollinate them, the way. It's pretty exciting stuff really.

      Ok. So I was using rain water to put on my garden. One barrel had been used to store iodine in it at one time. Long story short, because watermelon is so sensitive, the flesh both smelled and tasted like iodine. Yuck! The tomatoes turned out fine but that barrel had to go.

    I found a brown seed in my seedless water melon and I dried it for a day then stuck it into a wet paper towel in a plastic ziplock bag and the next day it sprouted... I planted the seed in my garden. I wonder how it was able to make a seed and what type of water melon it will make?! Has anyone ever done this?

    • @lightdark00
      @lightdark00 6 років тому +1

      Huge difference. One uses techniques to invade cells with genetic data from an outside life source not related to the invaded cells and the invader genes could have never got into the host without this manipulation. The other uses a chemical trick to change the count of chromosomes, then mating with a similar or same species, meaning no foreign gene data in the outcome. GMO, foods contain foreign genes and thus proteins that would have never existed in our foodstream otherwise. And to reiterate, genetic manipulation involves the editing of genes by way of viruses containing genes that do not belong in the recipient, artificial selection involves using techniques to produce a desired effect using only the one species.

    Watermelon is the one fruit I really want to grow in my garden, but I've never been successful. I've tried twice now. First year I planted them and the seedlings did well until my toddler niece ripped them all out of the ground. The next year I bought seedlings from the farmer's market. They grew fine but were NOT watermelon... they were squash. At least I got something, lol!

This summer, there must have been a breakthrough because the seedless watermelons have been amazing! I even tested one against a seeded watermelon and it was just as sweet, possibly sweeter. I hope this was not just a fluke summer.

    @chuckphilpot7756 4 роки тому

    Fun fact... A seedless watermelon is incorrectly labeled as a fruit. But in a court of law, this would be found inncacurate. The definition of a fruit is any fleshy sack or pod that houses the plant's seeds. And the definition of seed explicitly states that to be a seed it must be capable of reproduction. Therefore seedless watermelon is not the seed pod as it contains no seed capable of reproducing, and thus is not a fruit. Except in a broader scope as in "the fruits of someone's labor, or the fruits of harvest". Both of which would include any other part of the plant as well, so are logically retracted from the implied meaning of fruit.
