Late watermelon planting time and method

Late watermelon planting time

Late watermelon can be planted after early spring watermelon is sown, which can be done in late April. The specific sowing time should be adjusted in time according to local climatic conditions. For example, the southern region is relatively warm, so it can be sown earlier, while the northern region can be sown later.

Late watermelon planting method

1. Seed propagation

For late watermelons, choose large-fruited, high-yield, and highly resistant varieties. Select seeds with full grains and bright colors, expose them to the sun for disinfection, then soak them in warm water for germination, and transplant them into loose soil to ensure that the seedlings can get more space for growth.

2. Cultivation soil

Whether planting in the ground or in pots, when planting late watermelons, you must choose humus soil or sandy loam with loose soil and convenient drainage and irrigation. You can add basal fertilizer nutrients to the soil to provide energy for the growth and development of watermelons. The soil must also be plowed and weeds must be removed in time.

3. Accept light

The most feared thing about planting late watermelons is the lack of light or insufficient light in the growing environment. Watermelon is a sun-loving crop. High-quality sunlight can make the watermelon have a stronger photosynthesis ability, and the watermelon flesh will be sweeter and firmer.

Late watermelon planting precautions

The planting method of late watermelon is no different from that of early watermelon. There is no need for a small arch shed in early spring. At the same time, please note that because it will experience the hottest season and rainy season of the year, try to prevent diseases caused by excessive planting density.
