Father and son duo, Chip and Carville Mace, show us at Foxleigh Farm, that it is possible to plant seedless watermelon. Contrary to popular belief, this is done without genetic modification, but rather through conventional plant breeding. This practice is crucial to ensuring proper conditions can be met before the official planting stage begins. As a result, the melons are planted in the field after they have already sprouted. Carville later explains how proper conditions before planting are not the only cause for concern. It is also imperative to line the crops a particular way, as it can impact the plants’ ability to pollinate. However, when done correctly, farmers are rewarded with the beautiful sight of seemingly unending green throughout the entire field.
