1. When to Plant Watermelon Seeds

Watermelons thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Choose a sunny location with loose, moisture-retentive soil. For best results, enrich the planting area with aged manure, compost, or seaweed before sowing.

2. How to Plant Watermelon Seeds
Dig a hole 12 inches deep and 24 inches wide. Fill it with a mix of compost, manure, and a few handfuls of sand. Use the removed soil to build a mound over the filled hole. Sow 4–6 watermelon seeds about 1 inch deep in each mound, spaced 5–10 feet apart. If transplanting, choose the 2–3 strongest seedlings once they develop 3–4 true leaves. Thin the rest using scissors to avoid disturbing roots.

3. Watermelon Plant Care Tips
Avoid planting in areas where night temperatures fall below 50°F, as this can affect fruit flavor. Temperatures over 90°F for several days may cause flowers to drop. Watermelon plants need 70–90 frost-free days to mature and are highly sensitive to frost. Use drip irrigation or a soaker hose for consistent watering. In dry climates, inverted hills can help retain moisture. Even watering prevents blossom-end rot. Great companion plants include corn, beans, radish, marigolds, nasturtiums, and oregano. Avoid planting near potatoes.

4. How to Harvest Watermelons
About 10–14 days before harvest, stop watering to concentrate sugars and enhance sweetness. Place a board under each melon to keep it clean and dry. Watermelons are typically ready to harvest 70–90 days after sowing.
