How to Plant and Care for Tendersweet Orange Watermelon Seeds
Planting Time
Start Indoors: Start seeds indoors about 4-6 weeks before the last frost to get a jump on the growing season. Once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C), you can transplant the seedlings outside.
Direct Sowing: Alternatively, you can sow seeds directly into the garden when the soil temperature reaches at least 70°F (21°C). This is typically in late spring to early summer.
Soil Requirements
- Loamy, Well-Drained Soil: Watermelons thrive in well-drained, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 6.0 to 6.8). Add compost or organic matter to enrich the soil before planting.
Sunlight
- Full Sun: Watermelons require full sun for at least 8 hours each day. Choose a spot that receives plenty of sunlight to ensure the melons develop their sweet flavor.
Spacing
- Space 3-4 feet apart: Tendersweet Orange watermelon plants need room to spread. Space them at least 3 to 4 feet apart to provide adequate space for their vines to grow.
Watering
- Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially as the melons are developing. Water deeply to encourage deep root growth but avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot.
Fertilization
- Balanced Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Avoid using too much nitrogen, as this can lead to excess foliage and fewer fruit.
Mulching
- Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil temperature consistent.
