Watermelons love hot summers in sandy, nutrient-rich soil. A prior cover crop of buckwheat or alfalfa adds nitrogen and organic matter. Plant seeds 2–3 per hill, thin to strongest, hills 6 feet apart.
Feed with diluted fish emulsion until heavy bloom, then switch to high potassium/phosphorus, low nitrogen fertilizer. Limit to 1–2 melons per vine. Stop watering a few days before harvest to concentrate sugars.
