I really like these watermelon they taste amazing. All seedless watermelon are hard to get to grow. I maybe have 1 per plant and got 4 to germinate. Delicious.

I have a huge garden which has been primarily filled with SnS seeds for many years to great success. I tried the Eclipse watermelon this year..... I'd give it a 0 star if possible. Yellow doll did great (again), Goddess cantaloupe did great (again), Early Dew did fantastic (again, highly recommend this variety!). Sadly, Eclipse did horrible. A couple seeds sprouted but just didn't do anything. Tiny, sickly vines - finally (germination was very poor) - and no fruit. First bad seed variety I've ever bought over many years from SnS.

Seeds germinated in pots kept at 82 degrees. Vines are coming along but it is still too early for the watermelons to develop. Hopefully I will be picking watermelons by the first week of September.

None of the seedless watermelon seeds germinated. The only ones that did were the pollinator seed. Yes that's a pic of my garden, I do know what I'm doing....
