Today I just wanted to discuss about what watermelon varieties my people planted in the farm. There are so many watermelon (pakwan) varieties that are available in the market. And to be sure for a profitable venture, you need to know what wholesale buyers prefer. Last year we had 3 varieties planted; Kaneko, Sugar Ball and Diana. Kaneko is an old time favorite variety because of its sweetness and red flesh with green skin. Diana variety is a yellow skinned watermelon with red flesh and is a high priced variety in the market. While Sugar Ball is a new variety with green skin and stripes.
This year, my people will be planting 3 variety once again; Kaneko, Diana and Gold Lady according to them.

The third variety, Gold Lady, will be planted only for the first time that's why I still have no idea about it. I will just post a photo of its fruit after some time.
What variety of watermelon do you prefer? Have you ever tasted other variety of watermelon? Please share your comments and who knows maybe we could try to plant that particular variety next season!
