fruits weighing up to 4kg, 15-20cm (6-8in) across.

maturing, it is suited to cooler climates and drought resistant.

Care & Growing Info

Watermelons are warm season annual vines and needs
a long warm season to mature. Watermelon needs plenty of room to grow as it
sends out long vines

Start them early, if you can. In temperate areas
sow October - November, after all danger of frost; subtropical areas sow
September - November; in tropical areas sow April - July, during the dry
season. Sow directly where it is to grow 10 - 20mm deep, or start early in
individual seedling pots, in cool areas
bottom heat will be required. Seed germinates best at a soil temperature of 21
- 35° C. Seed will germinate in 7 - 14 days. Soil should be fertile,
well-drained, with a pH 6 - 6.5.

Prepare your soil with compost and well-rotted
manure; deep digging is beneficial. The soil needs to be well drained.

Space rows 1.5 m apart with 1m between plants on raised
mounds. Avoid over-watering once the fruit is nearly ripe as this will make for
a bland flavored watermelon (also too much rain).

Slide a flat piece of wood underneath ripening
fruit on the ground to avoid rotting from contact with wet soil. Harvest when
the melon slips easily from the stem.

Harvest in 10-16 weeks. Compatible
with (can grow beside) Sweetcorn, Sunflowers. And avoid growing close to Potatoes 

Propagation note will be supplied with the seed packet for
your convenience.
