Watermelon Seed Planting Information:

Watermelons require a lot of space and a sunny location in your garden. Plant 5 to 7 seeds in hills outdoors. Planting should occur 1 to 2 weeks after the last frost. Plants grow 1 ft tall and vines spread up to 6 ft.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Work the soil thoroughly before planting. Add well-rotted manure and compost.

Water Requirements:

Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get 1" water per week.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Protect ripening watermelons from damp ground to prevent rot by placing them on boards. Tap the watermelon with your knuckles. If it sounds hollow, it's ready. Cut watermelons carefully from plants to prevent damaging the vines.
