Oh So Sweet lives up to the promise: crisp, red flesh packed with sugar and juice in a classic round melon. Bred for home gardens, it ripens reliably in warm summers and holds sweetness even in variable weather. Watermelons trace back to Africa, long valued for hydration and mineral-rich flesh. Chill slices, pickle the rinds, or cube for salads with mint and feta. Vines run, so give room or a sturdy trellis sling. Mulch to keep fruit clean and water even for best texture. Harvest when the tendril nearest the fruit browns and the underside yellows—then eat it cold on a hot day.

How to Grow

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 s
Eedlings 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.
