When I owned a lot of farmland, I let a local watermelon grower use half of it to grow a crop. As part of the deal, he allowed me to pick as many as I wanted for my own personal consumption. I took advantage of it, and really got sick of watermelon for many years afterward!
The variety he grew was yellow inside, not the usual red. It was much more sweet than the red and was pretty amazing.
One farmer down the road grew Black Diamond watermelons. They are round in shape and can reach 100 pounds (45 kg)!
