Preparing the Soil
Klondike Blue Watermelons thrive in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Before planting, amend the soil with organic matter such as compost or aged manure to improve its texture and fertility. Ensure that the soil is warm, as watermelons are sensitive to cold temperatures. Raised beds can be beneficial in cooler climates to provide adequate drainage and warmth for optimal growth.
Planting Klondike Blue Watermelon
Watermelons, including varieties like red-fleshed watermelons, are warm-season crops that require full sun and warm temperatures to thrive. Wait until after the last frost date in your area before planting Klondike Blue Watermelon seeds or any other watermelon seed. Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart in rows or hills spaced 4 to 6 feet apart to allow for adequate air circulation and room for vine growth. Watermelons are large vining plants that can take over extensive garden space. They can be trellised, but use slings to support the developing fruit.
Watering and Care
Watermelons require consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages. Provide 1 to 2 inches of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation, ensuring that the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Fertilizing
Klondike Blue Watermelons are heavy feeders and benefit from regular fertilization. Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost tea every 3 to 4 weeks during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and fruit development. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as excessive nitrogen can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
Training and Support
Watermelon vines can spread out extensively in the garden, so provide ample space for them to grow. Consider using trellises or support structures to train the vines vertically, which can save space and reduce the risk of fruit rot. Pruning the vines as needed can also help improve air circulation and sunlight exposure, leading to healthier plants and higher yields.
Pest and Disease Management
Klondike Blue Watermelons are susceptible to a variety of pests and diseases, including aphids, cucumber beetles, powdery mildew, and anthracnose. Monitor your plants regularly for signs of pest infestations or disease symptoms, and take appropriate action to control them. Practice crop rotation, use row covers, and apply organic pesticides or fungicides as needed to protect your watermelon crop.
Harvesting Klondike Blue Watermelon
Klondike Blue Watermelons are typically ready for harvest 80 to 90 days after planting. Monitor the watermelons closely for signs of maturity, including a dull or matte appearance to the rind, a hollow sound when tapped, and tendrils near the stem turning brown and drying out. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears to cut the watermelon from the vine, leaving a few inches of stem attached.
Growing Klondike Blue Watermelon can be a rewarding experience, offering delicious fruits that are perfect for summertime enjoyment. By following the guidelines outlined in this guide and providing proper care and attention, you can cultivate a bountiful harvest of sweet and flavorful watermelons that are sure to be a hit with family and friends.

Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Watermelon prefers light, loamy, fertile, deep, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Add plenty of organic matter. Water plants amply until setting out, then water more sparingly. Mulch to prevent weed competition.
Planting & Growing: Plant starts in late spring or early summer, once the soil has warmed up to at least 70°F (21°C). Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart in rows spaced 4 to 6 feet apart to allow for adequate air circulation and room for vine growth. 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.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
