Dig holes in the ground for the transplants. Place one seeded watermelon in the first row and transplant seedless watermelons into the next two holes. Continue to stagger your plantings, with one seeded variety to every two seedless. Water the transplants in and wait, about 85-100 days, for the fruit to mature.
Start the Seeds Indoors. Watermelon plants are very frost sensitive and exposure to cold temperatures can quickly kill them. Get a head start on the growing season by planting watermelon seeds in peat pots indoors approximately three to four weeks before the last frost date in your region.
