Citrullus lanatus Tender Annual Crimson Sweet has a tough, medium-thick, light-green rind with small, dark-green stripes. Its shape is blocky at 12 x 10 and weighng up to 25 pounds. Its bright, deep-red flesh is high in sugar content and has few, small seeds. It was an All-American Selections winner in 1964. Soil & Water: Watermelon prefers light, loamy, fertile, deep, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5—6.5. Add plenty of organic matter. Water plants amply until setting out, then water more sparingly. Mulch to prevent weed competition. Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 2—3 weeks before the last frost or sow seeds directly after frost. Set out 3—4 transplants per hill, selecting the strongest two when vines are 1'—2' long. Watermelons are large vining plants that can take over an extensive garden space. They can be trellised, but use slings to support the developing fruit. Harvesting & Storage: Harvest melons when the tendril closest to the stem turns dry and brown and the stem becomes brittle. Eat fresh, freeze flesh in a honey-based syrup, or pickle the rind. Did You Know? Watermelon is low in calories and is very nutritious. It is high in lycopene, second only to tomatoes! Sun/Shade: Full sun, Planting Depth: 1/2", Spacing After Thinning: 4'—6', Soil Temperature: 75—95°F, Days To Germinate: 3—9, Days To Maturity: 88, Height At Maturity: 18"—24" Seeds/unit 2920
