Watermelon Growing

This is the watermelon I wish I grew but didn’t. It did come from a local farm a few miles from here that raised it down in the river bottoms. Not sure what type it is but hoped some of you might know. For the $3 or $4 I paid for it the money was well spent. Thought I might try and save the seeds but what are your thoughts? My girlfriend just ate one and she rated them as great to excellent! I would attribute some of that good flavor to the extremely hot summer. I think Texas and Arkansas as examples raise some of the best watermelons for that same reason. I think soil is another factor on raising good tasting fruit eg, Georgia peaches. That’s a kitchen chair it’s sitting on.
