We ordered from Gurney's. We only had a 10x10 garden so we grew 4 or 5 plants. There was enough watermelon for my family and neighbors! The Best Watermelon ever! They use a lot of water and we shaded the melons because of the high temperature, some melons "cooked" on the vine before they were ripe.
