GROWING TIPS
Direct seed 2 to 3 weeks after average last frost date and when daytime soil temperatures are near 70°F. Or, start watermelon seed indoors 3-4 weeks before your anticipated planting date. Set transplants in the garden 2 to 3 weeks after danger of frost has passed. Watermelon seedlings are tender. Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 70-90°F. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. Watermelons are a true warm season crop and can benefit from planting on black plastic and/or using row covers.
