| Once upon a time watermelon growers have been respected and considered to be exceptionally skillful producers. As it was stated in one manuscript from beginning of last century: "Watermelon is big squire meaning that it is very demanding so small mistakes in production can generate big losses. On the same token for skillful producer it can generate big wealth. Watermelons require constant attention and work. High quality seed is also important. Bad weather condition can severely effect in loss of the crop more than other vegetables in total. On top of that watermelons require the best new land that was left to rest for many years until sowing is planned. If we intend to use salty land with too much clay, it is of no use of hard work and spending on seed, as we can not expect any successes".
