Should I use watermelons as payment for Pineapples?

depends, are you power leveling farming and rich?

Not that rich, and I hate losing money really, but its all worth it.... more opinions.

it keeps your trees alive and its worth it unless you are training or close to there to keep an eye on it

Hmm... if it is worth it, how should I obtain watermelons?

by buying them or growing them, im pretty sure they go from 500gp to 2k ea

the cost of losing a pineapple seed if far more than the cost of the watermelons.

Ok so I should use watermelon for payment, but how should I obtain watermelons?

For every tree I plant i pay the nearby gardener. The time is takes for a tree to become full grown is way to long to check every now and then.

 

Just get some watermelon seeds (forgot what you need to pay the farmer for checking these) and harvest your own.

If you grow watermelons, you can try thieve seeds from Master Gardners or the Draynor Seed stall. Also a drop from some monsters (don't know exactly wich ones).

 

As for the whole watermelons, according to the tip.it website you can only grow them or buy from a Farming Shop, but they aren't in stock. Player sold only.

Always Always Always pay gardeners to look after your trees.

Watermelon seeds are dropped by moss giants, and are thieved from master farmer. They can be looked after by gardeners for the cost of 10 curry leaves per allotment.

Or you can grow a nasturtium to protect watermelons.

my trees have never died and haven't paid farmers.
