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.
This part is simple. The watermelon you planted will be ready about 80 or so days after you plant it from seed. This means, around day 75 or so, depending on how the season was, you can start watching for ripe watermelon. How to pick a ripe watermelon will come to you; you just have to be patient. Growing watermelons is a wonderful thing to do, especially if you love fruit in the summertime.
