That seed is, ahem, a tad expensive. Yes, I am going to order it. ;')

I was looking for the Cobb melon, which I've never tried to grow. A number of varieties on that site are good for dry climates. That's good for you, but does me no good. I've had the best luck with Black Diamond (the red, not the yellow), which also happens to be plenty tasty.

Naturally, I can't find those seeds, but I just got Moon & Stars locally (and on sale; Cook's Garden I think, I've ordered from their catalog before), and plan to grow those in the clay portion of the garden, with a shot of manure worked in. ;')

Black Diamond watermelon (see above) grows well around here, and the melons are nice and sweet. I have the most luck if I thin the herd (no more than two-three melons per vine, the first one gets most of the flavor and size) and just grow more plants. Black Diamond is normally red fleshed, but is also available yellow fleshed, and I'd like to try that this year. I grew some yellow-fleshed variety five or so years ago, and it was fab.
