Easy to Grow and Store

Our Organic Red Moon and Stars seed is perfect for gardeners of all levels. Whether you choose to start your seeds indoors in cooler climates or direct sow them when the soil warms up, these resilient plants thrive in full sun and rich, loose soil. With a maturity period of approximately 100 days, you’ll be rewarded with beautiful, flavorful watermelons that also store well, allowing you to enjoy your harvest for weeks.

Planting and Growing Tips:

• Sowing: Start indoors (cool climates) 1 month before transplanting or direct sow (warm climates) in soil 75°F+. Plant 3 seeds per pot (indoor) or 6 seeds per hill (direct sow) at 1/4″ depth.
• Spacing: Thin to the strongest seedling (indoor) or 2-3 plants per hill (direct sow) with 6-8′ spacing in all directions.
• Sunlight: Requires full sun for optimal growth.
• Soil: Plant in rich, loose soil. Black plastic mulch can benefit young seedlings.
• Watering: Keep soil moist until fruit develops, then water only when dry.
• Mulching: Apply a thick layer of mulch to control weeds and protect melons.
• Harvesting: Look for a dull thump, a yellow underside, and a browning tendril near the stem.
