Only two of the five seeds germinated and we only got one small watermelon
The pollinator, however, grew like crazy and we got a number of yellow seeded watermelons which were very sweet

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....
