Sowing & Growing
Can be grown outside in a warm, sheltered and sunny location, but for the most reliable crops under glass is best.
Spacing: 2 feet. Light: Sunny, Warm, Sheltered Location.
Prepare soil by digging and incorporating liberal amounts of well-rotted compost or farmyard manure over-winter. Watermelons thrive in a sunny, warm location. Sow your watermelon seeds in pots in mid-to-late May. In order to do this, fill some pots with seed-starting formula and sow each seed at a depth of 1 inch. You should sow 2-3 seeds per pot. Keep the soil moist and warm, at a temperature of 21 – 22°C. The seedlings will emerge in 7-10 days. As soon as they emerge, provide plenty of light by placing the pots on a sunny windowsill.
At harvest time, tap the watermelon with your knuckles, and if it sounds hollow, it’s ripe.
