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.
If you live in a cooler climate, then summer is the time to grow watermelons. You do need at least three months of reliably hot, sunny weather to grow and ripen a watermelon. During that time your average daily maximum temperature should be at least about 20-25Â°C or 70-80F. Warmer is even better.
