HEALTHY.Watermelon is a good source of potassium and is 91% water making it great for hydration.
SWEET.Because it has more genes, a seedless watermelon's sweet flavor is actually expressed more, so the fruit is actually more likely to be more flavorful than a seeded watermelon.
This watermelon has golden yellow rind with narrow obvious stripes. Almost everything homegrown in the garden tastes better than its grocery store counterpart, but watermelon might take the cake as the most improved. It’s packed full of so much more juicy, layered flavor than anything you can grab at a supermarket—you don’t know watermelon until you bite into your own homegrown melon that’s still warm from the sun! The great news: watermelon is relatively easy to grow! It takes a long season and thrives in hot weather, but give it some space to sprawl, and it’s mostly maintenance-free! Let’s get you growing some melons. If you can grow a cucumber or a zucchini, you can grow a watermelon! Watermelon plants are remarkably prolific, and as long as your climate is hot enough,watermelons are a breeze to get going. Watermelon requires a relatively long growing season (about 80-90 days from sowing the seeds), and it wants absolutely nothing to do with cool weather. Plant your watermelon when the soil has warmed to around 70ºF and there are no longer any cool nights in the forecast. For many people, this is actually two to three weeks after their last frost date in the spring.
