  • actually they can cross pollinate with squash. You will get "watersquash". Ive heard they wont rippen ( turn red ) but if there golden flesh and not bitter you can eat it but it won't be a "true" variety... I will look further into it since this is my first time trying. I know you need constant heat 4 sure. True they came from africa..

  • Museums Online South Africa list watermelons as having been introduced to Native Americans in the 16th century. Early French explorers found Native Americans cultivating the fruit in the Mississippi Valley. Many sources list the watermelon as being introduced in Massachusetts as early as 1629. Southern food historian John Egerton has said he believes African slaves helped introduce the watermelon to the United States. (wikipedia)
