WATERMELONS Approximately 200 seeds per oz.
CULTURE: In early summer, till soil. Sow 2-3 seeds, 1/2-1″ deep, 18-24″ apart in a row spacing of 4-5′. After emergence, thin to 1 healthy plant per hill. Keep soil moist and weed free. Seeds can also be started indoors in Pro-trays or similar pots. Place 2 seeds per pot. Germinate at 75-80F. Transplant outdoors after plants have 3 true leaves. You will need 3,500 to 4,000 plants per acre. HARVEST: Now here the fun begins!! There are 3 ways to tell when your watermelon is ripe: 1) tendril nearest point of vine where fruit stem attaches is browning, 2) Spot where fruit rests on ground has turned yellow, 3) The classic mystery you hear PLUNK ” verses ” PLINK or PLANK ” when you flick your finger. Good luck and enjoy!!!

Dark Knight F1
Seedless watermelons have their likes and dislikes & are just like a spoiled child if they do not get their way, they will not germinate. Follow these steps to grow them. 1) DO NOT DIRECT PLANT SEEDS OUTDOORS or you are sure to fail. Start seeds in Jiffy 7’s, jiffy pots or 50 cell pro trays with a good soil substitute. Place seed pointed end up. Cover seed growing containers with a gro-dome or plastic wrap. Keep in light, put out of direct sunlight or you will cook them.
Germinate at 80° to 90°F for a minimum of 60 hours. Above or below this temperature, they will not germinate. After plants emerge, remove
cover and place in sunlight. Grow at 60° to 70°F. After plants have their 2nd true leaf, transplant outdoors. You will need 3-4 weeks from planting
seeds indoors until it is time to transplant outdoors. If plants grow until the 4th leaf or more, toss them out & start over as yield will be cut if plants
are this size.
