What is the best season for planting watermelons?

What month is suitable for planting watermelon?

Watermelon is mainly planted in spring. You can choose to plant it in mid-March and it will be mature and available in July. Some areas can also start planting in April, which will delay the time to market. The latest time to plant it is June-July.

Watermelon Planting Methods

1. Seed treatment

To plant watermelons, first soak the seeds in warm water for about a quarter of an hour, then wash them, take them out, and soak them in room temperature water for another 6 hours to soften the seed skin and allow it to fully absorb water.

2. Seedbed management

The seedbed for planting watermelons should be kept warm and can be covered with greenhouse film. If the temperature is too low, turn on the electric heating in time to avoid the seedlings being damaged by the low temperature. In the high temperature in summer, they can be directly sown and cultivated.

Watermelon planting points

1. The amount of fertilizer required before watermelon matures is relatively small. When the fruit is just growing out, avoid excessive watering and excessive fertilizer to prevent excessive growth of branches and leaves, which will affect fruit growth.

2. After the fruits have grown and stabilized, you need to add an appropriate amount of water and fertilizer. Watering should be done when there is diffuse light. If it is under the film, it is best to use drip irrigation, in small amounts and multiple times, to avoid an environment that is too humid.
