Planting Tips:
Jubilee watermelons grow best in warm, fertile, well-drained soil and full sun. Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures reach at least 70°F. Allow plenty of space for vigorous vines to spread and water regularly, especially during flowering and fruit development. Harvest watermelons when the underside develops a creamy yellow spot, the rind becomes dull, and the tendril nearest the fruit begins to dry.
