RARE Hokkaido Black Watermelon 10 Seed-$6,100 per Fruit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I dont understand why Hirt's is recieving so many bad reviews. I ordered these seeds and got them within 3 days. The product was undamaged and came with great, detailed instructions. I started them in a seed starter I purchased from the hardware store and have seen FAST, FLAWLESS GERMINATION..!! A lot of the seeds Hirt's carries are exotics and may not be right for your Zone. You cant expect them to grow without doing your homework first. Study up, read the all of the instructions, and explore all options before blaming the seeds or the company.

TOKYO A jumbo black watermelon auctioned in Japan on Friday fetched a record $6,100, making it one of the most expensive watermelons ever sold in the country.
In a society where melons are a luxury item commonly given as gifts, the watermelon's hefty price tag followed another jaw-dropping auction last month. At that auction, a pair of "Yubari" cantaloupe melons sold for a record $23,500.
The 17-pound, black-skinned "Densuke" watermelon, a variety grown only on the northern island of Hokkaido, was purchased Friday by a marine products dealer who said he wanted to support local agriculture, according to Kyodo News agency. The price was the highest on record for a Densuke watermelon, said Kazuyoshi Ohira, a spokesman for the Tohma Agricultural Cooperative in Hokkaido. Most retail at department stores and supermarkets for a more modest $188 to $283, Ohira said.
And what makes a watermelon worth $200, much less $6,000
Ohira says it's the unusual black skin and unparalleled taste. "It's a watermelon, but it's not the same," he said.

Demeter Fragrance Library - Plants & Trees - Home Atmosphere Room Spray Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)....lately the products have been hit or miss.
I recently tried Sticky Toffee Pudding in the 4 oz room spray and it's definitely become my favorite -- I can't get enough of it! On the other hand, my mother loves the Waffle Cone and I ordered her 2 bottles from the Demeter website ($14 each, plus flat rate shipping) and they came smelling nothing like the waffle cone she loves. It almost smells rancid like whiskey. There's no problem with exchanges -- that's what their website says anyway. I don't know if it's the room spray version that is bad or if they reformulated, but I'm going to send it back and pay the extra for the cologne version.
As for other scents I've tried:
Sugar Cookie - Very very sweet. A little too sweet for me.
Brownie - An artificial chocolate smell, but not offensive. Doesn't last very long.
Graham Cracker - Hard to find the scent in the sea of alcohol in the product.
Waffle - Very maple syrup-y.
Strawberry Ice Cream - Very artificial owerpowering scent. Almost like a very concentrated strawberry Quik. (Strawberry milk powder brand.)
Scottish Shortbread - There is some sort of oil in the mixture and when it arrived it was nearly frozen. I didn't care for this smell either. sort of an almond cookie smell but also masked by the alcohol smell.
Mojito - Ick. My mom received this as a promo item somewhere and it smells like a hospital to me! I'm not sure which component of Mojito smell is doing that to it, but I'd pass.
There's a Jelly Belly line scent that has something to do with blackberries. It was a pretty harsh scent. Not light and airy -- very contrived and strong. Over the top but not in a good way. Same goes for the Blueberry Muffin in the Jelly Belly line.
Vanilla Cake Batter - Not very exciting. Very vanilla, not very cakey.
I reviewed the Rubber and Mesquite scents on Amazon somewhere -- pass on those.
Before you invest the money, go to the Demeter site and get the $5 1/2 oz splash version of the scent you like. Or just get the Sticky Toffee Pudding. ;)

Rare Tigger Melon 10 Seeds - Heirloom - Delicious -Easy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was able to grow myself some decent tigger vines by
1) not even touching the seeds when the outside temperature drops below 60 at night (we're zone 9 bordering on 8, so we're ready in april)
2) very carefully using park seed starter domes (to further protect these delicate vines from cold, disease, etc)
3) vigorously soaping their transplantation area and then hitting them with fungicide weekly
They hve a tendency to pick up any disease in the air, soil, or water, and very sensitive to temperature. Anything below 55 will stunt and then kill them. They're even worse than cantaloupes with respect to their sensitivity.
Easy, no. But very satisfying.

90 days. Cucumis melo. Plant produces heavy yields of 1 lb melons. The melons are yellow with brilliant fire-red, zigzag stripes golden color flesh melons. Very fragrant. The flesh is white and is very sweet and tastes like a cantaloupe. This heirloom variety does well in dry conditions.
