Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Allsweet watermelon take to mature?
It is a long-season crop. Exact timing varies with temperature, soil, sunlight and transplant stress.
Can the seeds be direct sown?
Yes. Direct sow after frost once the soil is thoroughly warm.
Can watermelon be grown in a container?
Only in a very large container with strong support and ample space for vines; in-ground growing is usually easier.

Yes. Good insect activity is important for fruit set and shape.
How can ripeness be checked?
Watch for a drying tendril near the fruit, a creamy-yellow ground spot and a duller rind surface.

No. Fruit size varies naturally with pollination, vine health, weather and crop load.
