Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
Sowing
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Keep the soil warm (70-85°F) and moist.
Direct Sowing: After the last frost date, sow seeds directly in the garden. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 2-3 feet apart in rows 6-8 feet apart.
Germination
Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period.
Transplanting
Transplant seedlings outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Space plants 2-3 feet apart in rows 6-8 feet apart. Handle seedlings carefully to avoid disturbing the roots.
Care and Maintenance
Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods. Watermelons require consistent moisture to develop large, juicy fruits.
Mulching: Use mulch to retain soil moisture and control weeds.
Harvesting: Watermelons are ready to harvest when the tendril closest to the fruit turns brown and the underside of the fruit changes to a creamy yellow color. Tap the fruit; a ripe watermelon will produce a hollow sound.
