SOWING AND GROWING:
Watermelon is best sown direct after the final spring frost but, for earliest starts, begin indoors 3-4 weeks prior. Plant 2-3 seeds 1” deep per individual cell or 6-8 ft apart directly in the garden in loamy, consistently moist, and well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Watermelon performs best when grown on 8-10” tall soil mounds to accommodate long, heavy trailing vines. Watermelon is a heavy feeder and benefits from a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3 weeks until fruiting, then minimize nitrogen content in fertilizer. Fruits contain 90% water and plants require heavy, routine watering to produce melons.
Most watermelons are ready to harvest about 90 days from sowing or when showing signs of ripeness. The most important tip to picking vine-ripened watermelon is to locate the small tendril attached to the melon on the vine. If this tendril is completely brown and dead, the melon is ripe for harvest but, if the tendril is still even slightly green, the watermelon is not ready. Heirloom watermelon rinds will soften slightly when ripe and feel less like an impenetrable gourd. Use scissors or shears to carefully remove watermelon from the vine.
