WATERMELON SEEDS
Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus
Like other melons they can be started indoors 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost to get a jump on the season or planted directly in the garden after all danger of frost has past. Where growing areas are marginal black plastic mulch and floating row cover will be extremely helpful. Plant them in the hottest part of the garden and give them plenty of room to grow. Sorry, cannot ship to South Carolina or Florida.
