Are watermelon seeds from summer before last still viable?

Watermelon seeds are typically produced from hybridized plants and seeds from the ones you grow from those seeds will be in the process of returning to the wild type. The wild types may be called citrons and they become more and more like big gourds. I hope I got these words right. Buying seeds to use each year is best. I do not know about the other melons but it may apply to them also. Rusty Mase |
Hmm these seeds were actually from a vine that sprouted after some seeds
were spit onto the ground. We got about 13 melons off of it and it grew into December. "Rusty Mase" wrote in message ...
