25+SUGAR BABY WATERMELONSEEDS Growing and Harvesting Watermelons: A Comprehensive Guide Watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) are a popular summertime fruit known for their refreshing taste and high water content. Growing watermelons requires a sunny location, well-drained soil, and a bit of care throughout the growing season. This guide will walk you through the process of getting started, nurturing your plants, and harvesting your delicious fruits. 1. Choosing the Right Variety Before you begin, choose a watermelon variety that suits your climate and space considerations. There are several types of watermelons: Seedless Varieties: These include ‘Sugar Baby’, ‘Crimson Sweet’, and ‘Triple Sweet’. Usually smaller and easier to eat.Red Flesh: Most common type, like ‘Sugar Baby’ and ‘Charleston Gray’.Orange Flesh: Varieties such as ‘Orangeglo’ and ‘Yellow Crimson’ offer sweet, unique flavors. Make sure to select a variety that fits your growing season. Some varieties mature in 70 days, while others may take up to 90 days or more. 2. Planting Watermelons A. When to Plant Plant watermelon seeds outdoors when the soil temperature reaches at least 70°F (21°C) and after the last frost date in your area. This is typically in late spring to early summer. B. Where to Plant Choose a sunny spot that gets at least 6–8 hours of sunlight per day.Watermelons prefer well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. C. Soil Preparation Amend the soil with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure before planting to ensure rich nutrients.Create raised beds or mounds to improve drainage. D. Planting Seeds Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 36–42 inches apart within rows, spacing the rows at least 4–6 feet apart.If using transplants, start seeds indoors 4 weeks before the last frost and transplant outdoors when they are around 6–8 inches tall. 3. Caring for Watermelon Plants A. Watering Watermelons need a lot of water, especially during germination and fruit development.Aim for consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging. A deep watering once a week is usually sufficient. B. Fertilizing Use a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10 or similar) at planting and switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer when flowers start to appear.Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen as it can lead to excessive vine growth at the expense of fruit. C. Pruning Prune watermelon plants occasionally to improve air circulation and sunlight access. Remove the smaller, weaker vines to allow energy to go towards producing fruit. D. Pest and Disease Control Watch for common pests such as aphids, cucumber beetles, and squash bugs.Use natural remedies like neem oil or insecticidal soap to manage pests.Ensure good air circulation and proper drainage to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew. 4. Supporting Your Watermelons As the fruit develops, consider using slings (made of cloth or panty hose) to support larger melons, especially if you are growing on a trellis.This helps prevent rot and damage from the ground. 5. Harvesting Watermelons A. Signs of Ripeness Watermelons are typically ready to harvest between 70 to 90 days after planting, depending on the variety.Check for the following signs: Tendril Color: The tendril closest to the fruit should dry and turn brown.Ground Spot: The bottom of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot, indicating it’s ripe.Sound Test: Tap on the watermelon; a ripe fruit will produce a deep hollow sound.Appearance: The skin should have a waxy finish, and the surface should be firm. B. Harvesting Techniques Use a sharp knife or pruners to cut the fruit from the vine. Leave a few inches of stem attached to the watermelon.Handle the fruit carefully to avoid bruising. 6. Post-Harvest Care Store harvested watermelons in a cool, dry place. The ideal storage temperature is around 50°F (10°C). Watermelons can last for a week or two at room temperature and longer in cooler conditions.Before cutting, wash the skin to remove any dirt or bacteria. Conclusion With proper care and attention, you can enjoy succulent watermelons straight from your garden. Whether for summer picnics, smoothies, or simply enjoying a sweet slice on a hot day, nothing beats homegrown watermelon. Happy gardening!

Its name doesn’t lie. Tendersweet Orange Watermelons produce lovely oblong fruit with stunningly beautiful and incredibly delicious orange flesh.

You may think that the yellow/orange flesh is a hybrid novelty, but this color has actually been around longer than the pink and red watermelon flesh that we have come to know. We highly recommend this one! Listing and template services provided by inkFrog

Store in a cool and dry location such as the refrigerator or basement to best preserve germination rates. Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation: Prepare soil by removing large weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Dig or plow the soil 8-10 inches deep in winter or early spring. You may optionally apply manure or compost at 50-100 pounds per 1,000 square feet, or 2-4 tons per acre , to build the organic matter content of the soil. Turn the soil over to cover organic material completely. Next, work the soil into ridges or hills 4-8 inches high and 12-14 inches wide. This creates well-draining soil beds. Heavier soils may require higher soil beds. Place rows of watermelons 10-12 feet apart if in irrigated conditions, and 12-16 apart if in un-irrigated conditions. Since melons are vining crops, they require a lot of space and are best for larger gardens or lot-sized urban gardens; they may grow in small gardens if vines are trellised and the fruit is supported. Melons grow best in deep, well-draining sandy or sandy loam soil with plenty of organic matter and a neutral pH. Heavy soils with lots of clay may cause smaller sized plants and produce fewer melons. Planting: Try not to plant seeds until the soil warms in the spring and all danger of frost is past since melons are warm-season crops and can be easily injured by frost. Black plastic mulch can help to increase soil temperature and give melons an earlier start on growth. To direct sow, plant 6-8 seeds 1-1 1/2 inches deep in hills spaced 4-5 feet apart within rows. Water after planting if soil is dry. Transplanting, in contrast to direct sowing, may save 10-12 days of harvest time. To transplant, plant seeds in peat pots 2-4 weeks before transplanting. Transplant into the garden before the second true leaf opens (“true leaves” are the first two large leaves that appear before the smaller “seed leaves” appear). After melon plants break through the soil, thin to 2 plants per hill. Planting Depth: 1- 1/2 inch Within-Row Spacing: 4-5 feet Between-Row Spacing: 10-16 feet Care During the Season: Watering: Water the at least 1 inch per week. High temperatures, high winds, and sandy soils will increase the need for water. Weeding and Pruning: Keep plants as weed-free as possible. When plowing or hoeing, be careful not to cut too deeply into the soil near the melon plants as cutting the feeder rooters which may slow the plant’s growth. Fruit size can be increased by pruning watermelons to two fruits per plant for large varieties or four to six fruits per plant on small varieties. Fertilizing: Melons benefit from small amounts of fertilizer in 2 or 3 applications. Dig a 4-6 inch deep trench, about 2 inches from the side of the row, all down the row. You may optionally scatter 4 pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 1,000 square feet of garden area (60-90 feet of row) in the trench. Cover the fertilizer and plant so seeds do not touch the fertilizer. Make the second fertilizer application when vines are 8 inches long; scatter 2-3 pounds of fertilizer per 60-90 feet of row 2-3 feet to the side of the row and mix it lightly with the soil. Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Bt neem oil can be used to control the spider mites, and pyrethins can control for the cucumber beetle. Neem oil and insecticidal soaps are good ways to control for aphids. Before using a pesticide, read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions. Diseases: Rotating crops is important for disease control. To prevent build-up of diseases, it is advised that melons should not be planted in the same place more than once every 3 or 4 years. If spots appear on the leaves and no insects are present, a fungicide may be needed. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used. Please always follow label directions. Harvesting: Judging the ripeness of watermelon can require some skill. Some signs of a ripened watermelon include: dull sound when thumped (dependent on the size and type of melon and is often inaccurate), change in the color of the rind (loss of glossiness in color), change in color of the soil spot (if the spot the melon rested on in the soil turns a creamy, streaked color), or death or drying of the tendril (if the tightly curled bit of vine closest to the stem where the melon is attached dries, this is the most dependable sign). Try not to harvest melons too early because the sugar content does not increase after harvest.
