Planting & Care
Planting & Care
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.

This started great, but was killed by a late frost. I want to try again this year.
germinated good and all 12 seeds germinated great
So far so good! Super fast sprouting! Strong root came out of the rock wool starter cube, like a dragon searching for water. Transplant outside was flawless, no visible stress. At first set of leaves after cotyledon. Hoping the heat holds. Thanks Peaceful Valley!
Quality looking seed.
haven\'t tried growing but nice they have out of the ordinary seeds here for me to plant
