Large, round or oval, smooth green skinned, delicious, sweet pink fleshed melon.
Heat-loving watermelons can be a challenge to grow in cooler regions. To increase success, choose short-season varieties, start them inside, warm soil with black plastic or IRT mulch, and protect young plants with fabric row covers.
Harvest when the part in contact with the ground is turning yellow and the fruit sounds hollow when tapped. Watermelon needs plenty of room to grow as it sends out long vines Needs a long warm season to mature.
Harvest in 68-100 days Grow in seed trays, and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Sow seed at a depth approximately three times the diameter of the seed. Best planted at soil temperatures between 21°C and 35°C.
Space plants: 60-75cm Mulch plantings after soil has warmed to help maintain consistent moisture and suppress weeds.
If using fabric row covers, remove at flowering to allow pollination by bees. Good pollination is critical to fruit set. Plants require consistent moisture until pollination. Once fruit are about the size of a tennis ball, only water if soil is dry and leaves show signs of wilting. To prevent insect damage to developing fruits, place watermelons on pots or pieces of wood. If growing melons on a trellis, support fruit with slings made from netting, fabric, or pantyhose.
Trellising improves air circulation around plants and can help reduce foliar disease problems. Choose small-fruited varieties and reduce plant spacing. Avoid planting cucumber family crops (melons, squash, pumpkins) in the same spot two years in a row.
