Answer this question
The photos of the Chou Cheh Red Watermelon, on your site, look so much less seedy than those on SESE's website. Are these a really seedy melon? (We prefer less seedy, so if this is very seedy, could you recommend another that is similarly disease resistant and "forgiving" of less than perfect conditions? We're growing organic & low input in Central Florida). Thank you.

I don't think its seedy - I know from producing the seed that it doesn't yield a lot of seed for the amount of area or melons harvested. Also the seeds are small. -Edmund
