Seaburg's creativity really shines here. Turning the heirloom watermelon into a pale pink, bubbly cocktail sounds incredible! It highlights the special qualities of these melons and adds a whole new level of intrigue to the drink.

This blew my mind! I never thought about watermelons having such depth and history behind them. It's so easy to just grab one at the grocery store and think of it as a summer treat, but this article really opened my eyes. Learning about the stories of the people who created and cultivated these varieties, especially the Odell's White Watermelon developed by an enslaved man, adds a whole new layer of meaning to enjoying this fruit.

This article really resonated with me. Highlighting the stories behind these rare watermelons adds so much depth to their existence. It's not just fruit, it's a legacy, a testament to resilience and forgotten contributions.

I like what you are doing. I live in Puerto Rico. In a seed trading group.

That’s how I have gotten a lot of varieties of veggies. I didn’t even new they exist.

Here in Puerto Rico 80 % of the food in the supermarket is imported.

I’m trying to get people to realize that we need to start planting our own crops.

An increase that 20 to 80 if not more.

I’m planting here any fruit or veggie that will grow in temps from 60f and above.
I have managed to grow successfully

Mung beans
Tankuro Soy Beans
Edamame Soy Beans
Envy Soy Beans
32 inch Taiwanese Black Noodle beans

12 to 18 inch Red Cigna Chinese Noodle Beans

I’m growing right now
Marglobe tomatoes
Green Giant Tomato
Black strawberry Tomato
Mila Tomato
Giant white Tomato
Cream sausage Tomato
Giant white tomasol Tomato
Beefsteak Tomato
Yellow Pear Cherry Tomato

An collecting seeds as well these have been my successful growth

An waiting to clear out more land to grow watermelons next.
