Watermelon Seeds
Citrullus lanatus. Native to Africa, watermelon has been cultivated in Turkey for many generations. This plant thrives in summer heat. Small fruited varieties are usually suited better for Northern climates where growing season is relatively shorter. We have the most unique watermelon catalog among all seed companies in the U.S. Growing tips:
Start watermelon seeds indoors in seedling trays or small seedling pots in seed starting soil that has essential nutrients in it 3-4 weeks prior to last frost.
Cover the seeds with soil and keep the soil moist for quick germination.
Make sure to keep the young seedlings under good light to have strong plants with sturdy, healthy stems and leaves.
Transplant watermelon seedlings to garden or a pot with ample space for roots to spread after last frost in fertile soil.
Feed with liquid fertilizer once every two weeks. Water regularly especially in flower stage.
Reduce water when the fruits are maturing to improve flavor and sugar content.
Mulch and always water at plant base to minimize disease.
If the fruits are small, you can trellis watermelon plants to decrease disease pressure and improve air circulation.
Watermelon thrives in hot and humid climate and does best in sandy soil with good drainage.
Alternatively, to start watermelon seedlings, you can direct seeds in ground after last frost. Note that it is possible for seeds to rot when they are direct-seeded if the soil is cool and moist before they can sprout so make sure the soil temperature is over 70F.
