Days To Harvest:  75
Planting Depth: 1/2 inch

SOW: Seed directly in the garden in a sunny location.  Sow 6-8 seeds, 1/2 inch deep around a 12 inch diameter hill.  After germination, thin to 2-3 seedlings per hill.  If planted in rows, thin seedlings to 2 feet apart.  Seed may be started indoors 3-4 weeks prior to planting outdoors.  Transplant with care.

SHORTER VINES ARE TERRIFIC FOR SMALL GARDENS.

SUGGESTIONS:  Watermelons thrive in a sunny, warm location.  For early fruiting and to overcome a short growing season, seedlings may be started indoors.
