Sowing

Before sowing, it is important to prepare the soil properly. Watermelon seeds require fertile, well-drained soil to provide optimal growth conditions. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.

Sowing Depth

It is best to sow 'Crimson Sweet' watermelon seeds at a depth of 2-3 cm. This depth offers the plant suitable conditions for germination and initial growth, protecting the seeds from drying out and excessive cold.

Sowing Period Under Cover

When should you sow 'Crimson Sweet' watermelon seeds under cover? It is best to start sowing in early spring, from March to May. This allows the plants ample time to grow and develop before being transplanted to their permanent garden location.

Planting Time

'Crimson Sweet' watermelons are best planted in the second half of May when the risk of frost is minimal. At this time, the soil and air temperatures favour faster growth and development of the plant.

Plant Spacing

Proper spacing is key to successful cultivation of 'Crimson Sweet' watermelons. It is recommended to plant them 100x100 cm apart, providing enough space for free growth and avoiding competition for nutrients and water.

Site Conditions

'Crimson Sweet' watermelons require a sunny location, offering plenty of light necessary for proper growth and fruiting. The soil should be fertile, well-drained, and have a neutral pH. Regular fertilisation will contribute to more abundant yields.

Growing Tips

Growing 'Crimson Sweet' watermelons is not difficult but requires consistency. Regular watering, especially during dry spells, and adequate organic fertilisation are crucial care elements for this plant. Additionally, removing weeds that may compete for nutrients is beneficial.

Resistance to Diseases
