Planting Tips:
Orange Tendersweet watermelons grow best in warm soil and full sun. Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures are consistently warm. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and allow plenty of space for vines to spread. Water regularly during fruit development and harvest melons when the rind dulls in color and the underside develops a creamy yellow spot.
