Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to help soften the seed coat and encourage germination.

Sowing: 

Plant seeds directly into warm soil (at least 70°F) after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 2-3 feet apart in rows or hills.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 75-85°F).

Transplanting: 

Watermelon seeds are best sown directly into the garden bed as they do not transplant well due to their sensitive root systems. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.

Care and Maintenance: 

Provide consistent moisture to the soil, particularly during the flowering and fruit-setting stages. Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Provide support for vines if needed. Harvest watermelons when the underside turns yellow or cream-colored, and the tendril closest to the fruit begins to dry out. Cut the fruit from the vine with a sharp knife or shears, leaving a few inches of stem attached.

Happy gardening!
