Why bother? Look what they did with watermelons. The last couple seedless watermelons I had suck. Nowhere near as sweat and soft as seeded ones. Ya, it sucked to swallow seeds, but mmm-licious.

nonsense..... what do think breeding is?
Old way:
"Hey, Let's the cool traits from this plant and mate it with this plant who also has cool traits we want!"
---- 6 weeks later ----
"crap, only one of the traits we wanted made it into the plant! Now we have to wait another six weeks before we can get the next generation 🙁"
New Way:
"Hey, Let's take the genes from this plant and combine it with the genes of that plant!"
---- 6 weeks later ----
"Awesome, we have the plant that we wanted! Sweet, Let's go make a bajillion of them!"
The only downside is that there is less genetic diversity. But if we can control the plant's genes then we can create plants that would be resistant and maybe wouldn't need as much diversity. It's a double edge sword though.

They still have a few seeds, though. "Seedless" my ass!

I miss them black seeds so much, I chew and eat those 'little white things'. And am I not looking hard enough or have they taken "seeded" melons off the market...

I prefer seeds.
Reason: Without the seeds, they'd be too easy to eat. I'd eat cherries until I vomited every day while they were in season. (Actually, eating that many causes it to come out the other end... explosively. With the seeds, I get tired of eating them after 2 or 3 pounds.
If my apple trees are any indication, the weather was quite good for such crops this year. I'll spend a day at a cherry orchard picking cherries to store at home (they should weigh me before I start picking and after I finish picking, and charge me for what I eat!) Probably pick about 80-100 pounds this year.
