Description
Our favorite watermelon! We introduced this fine variety about
10 years ago after we were sent seed by Aziz Nail, an Iraqi gentleman
who had collected this fantastic variety in Iraq. It is now
nearly impossible to get seeds from this ancient country whose
people have lost much of their genetic heritage in the long,
bloody war. Now our corporate agriculture has been “kindly”
suggested to native farmers who are losing thousands of years
of plant breeding work; I guess they have gained the freedom
to sign a patent waver and support our Genetically Engineered
greed. Anyway, we plan to keep saving these old strains and
striving for basic human rights, like food! Well, let’s get back to
these great melons. The 12-30 lb melons have hard light-green
rinds that make them perfect for shipping and storage; the light
color makes them resistant to sun burning. Plants are large,
vigorous and give heavy yields of oblong fruit which do well in
many conditions. The flavor is superb, being very sweet and luscious;
and the texture is very crisp. This is a best seller and is a
favorite of Dr. Amy Goldman and featured in her book “Melons
for the Passionate Grower”. Ali Baba has received much acclaim
online “as the best tasting watermelon,” and it will forever win a
spot in any melon lover’s heart.
