Growing Tips for Organic Tendersweet Orange Watermelon Seeds:

  1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil.
  2. Spacing: Space plants 3-5 feet apart in rows that are 6-8 feet apart to allow room for vines to spread. Consider using a trellis or support to keep fruits off the ground.
  3. Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil with good organic matter. Amend soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Maintain a soil pH between 6.0-6.8.
  4. Watering: Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering when fruits begin to ripen to enhance sweetness.
  5. Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth and fruit production.
  6. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer or compost tea every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to promote vigorous growth and large, sweet fruits.
  7. Harvesting: Harvest when watermelons are fully mature, typically 80-90 days after planting. Look for a creamy yellow spot on the underside of the fruit and a dull sound when tapped. Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit from the vine, leaving a small portion of the stem attached.
