Orange Watermelon & which Grape tomatoes

18 years ago

I have seen seed catalogs offering watermelons with orange centers. I am a bit skeptical on flavor quality of these.

Does anyone have any experience in growing these in PA or tasting these?

Also the market is flooded with grape tomatoe plants. Of all the varieties is there a concensus on which is the best

for eating qualities, with growing features second?

wish i could help ya. the newest watermelon i've tried is the stars and moon. haven't seen the orange ones. when i think of orange melon, i'd rather have a cantaloupe.

not much help on the tomatoes either, to me those are a waste of space/time. i want a "real" tomato. but that's just me. i grew a small variety tomato last year, gew about the size of a golf ball. i could kick myself for not saving one seed. they has phenomenal taste.

i just didn't want you to go unanswered!
