Watermelon

There's nothing like a homegrown watermelon! Pick it when the tendril close to the fruit turns brown. The shell will become a duller color, and it may have a pale spot where it touches the ground.

Sowing Watermelon Seeds

Sow watermelon seeds outdoors after the last frost date, 1/2" deep. Space 2' apart in rows. Or sow in hills spaced 4-6' apart. Thin to 3 plants per hill. Full sun.
