The key is cutting the watermelon along the seed line, allowing you to simply scrape off the majority of seeds. Of course this is a lot more complicated than just cutting your watermelon in half, grabbing a spoon, and digging in, but if you can't stand the seeds and you don't want to pay more for lesser quality, more expensive seedless watermelon, this little melon hack may be worth a try.

Spring brings with it eager thoughts of planting for gardeners, along with ominous thoughts of keeping weeds at bay. If you're planning on using pre-potted plants or want to protect an entire area from the ever-growing menace, try corn meal, according to the This Garden is Illegal blog:Corn Gluten is a pre-emergent, which is a fancy way of saying that is it is a seed birth-control.
