Growing Your Organic Golden Midget Watermelon

Direct sowing Organic Golden Midget Watermelon seeds is likely the most suitable method. Sow seeds once the soil temperature reaches at least 24°C (75°F), planting six seeds per hill with 1.8-2.4 meters (6-8 feet) of space in all directions. Thin to the strongest two or three plants once seedlings emerge.

Choose a location with full sun and rich, loose soil. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and warmth. Keep the soil consistently moist until the fruit begins to develop, then water only when the soil feels dry.

Harvest when the melon turns a rich golden color, sounds dull when tapped, and the tendril closest to the stem starts to brown.
