Watermelons don't have a really strong flavour,but they are so sweet you can eat them anytime 
In fact they have a tendancy to compensate for their lack of flavour by taking on the flavour of anything near by.
Never keep an open watermelon near onions, garlic or cabbage. It will taste more like its neigbour than its self.
In the refrigerater always cover a cut watermelon with plastic wrap... or an even better solution - eat it all- right away.
Some watermelons can weigh up to 50kg, so Syngenta  has created a mini watermelon « Solinda ».
A commercial sucess in Switzerland where its known as the watermelons for singles.
No seeds, small, 2,5 kg easy to fit in the refrigerater. In short its been tamed - an urban watermelon.
But what is more fun in the summer than seed spitting contests when you are eating giant watermelon slices ?
