Next the heart piece was put in. Although not visible the same quarters were used again. As suspected the displaced volume went up telling me the rind is heavier per cubic inch. I've noticed over the years some melons, and lines of melons, have a great deal of white flesh around the seed area. I suspect it too may be heavier than the red. That's a test for another day. What does this mean? Maybe nothing. Maybe, if given the choice between to comparable seeds, go with the one that had a thicker rind. Do the taller melons have thicker rinds? Are those rinds more structurally sound? Could they be even more dense? What I do know is when my patch is done I have too much time to think. P.S. don't tell mama I used a Sharpie on one of her glasses.
