Watermelon Planting Information:

Watermelons require a lot of space and a sunny location in your garden. Plant 5 to 7 seeds in a diameter outdoors in hills. 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. Add well-rotted manure and compost to the soil.

Water Requirements:

Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get 1" of 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 by placing them on boards. Tap the watermelon with your knuckles, and if it sounds hollow, it's ready. Cut watermelons carefully from the plants to prevent damaging the vines.
