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.
Planting Times. In warmer climates, like Texas and the hotter areas of California, planting time for watermelons is December through early July, although April through July is more common. Harvest time ranges early-summer to mid-fall; some varieties may ripen in 90 days or less and are known as early varieties.
