Watermelon Crimson Sweet is a high yielding, disease tolerant fruit with sweet, red, juicy flesh that makes a refreshing Summer treat.
Yates organic seeds have been grown just as nature intended, under strictly controlled, organic, chemical free conditions.
For early sowing, raise in pots of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix in a well-lit, protected spot. Transplant after 3-4 weeks. For direct sowing press 3-4 seeds into mounds of moist soil 1.5m apart. Later thin to the two strongest plants. Select a Sunny, well-drained position with plenty of space to grow. Keep well watered until fruit starts to ripen, then reduce watering to sweeten before picking. Harvest when underside turns yellow and the fruit gives a dull, hollow sound when tapped.
Germination 6 - 10 days | Maturity 14 - 16 weeks
