Planting & Care
Sow Jubilee watermelon seeds outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing as recommended. For earlier harvests, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Water regularly, especially during fruit development, and mulch to retain moisture. Provide consistent moisture but avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
Watermelons benefit from rich soil and regular feeding. As vines grow, you can train them to save space or let them sprawl. Harvest when the tendril nearest the fruit turns brown and the underside of the melon is creamy yellow. Enjoy your homegrown Jubilee watermelons fresh or chilled.
