Growing Watermelon

When to Plant Watermelon - Warm weather, May 20, in Zone 4.

How to Plant Watermelon - Plant 2 to 3 seeds, 1 inch deep.  These can be planted in a row, about 18 inches apart.  They take up a lot of room, it vines.  Don't plant a melon that is really large, it will not ripen.

After Planting Watermelon - You can mulch this also.  Mulch when plants are about 6 inches tall.

Harvesting Watermelon - When the tendril has turned brown by the stem of the fruit it is ready to pick.  This does not slip easy so you may need to cut stem.
