Maybe I'll have a go at it. I'm looking for a watermelon that grows well here. Closest I've come is moon and stars, which at least did yield a watermelon.

@AMKuska
I'm not sure how they would do for you but I can see if he has any seed - I know a few years back he had deer and surprisingly coyotes tear through a patch. If he does, I'll try and get more and send a few your way if you'd like. I still have to get with him on corn seed anyways.

@AMKuska - If you are still interested, sorry for the delay- checking with him on watermelon seeds now

Seedlings are in the dirt. Haven’t killed them-so far.

@AMKuska I have some yellow, sweet, 6-8# size watermelon seeds you can have, if not too late.

I think my watermelons frosted out. I was just outside, and there is no sign of them. I have a backup seed, but I'm not 100% it is true to type (I rejected it the first time for looking different than the others in the packet)
