These require a slightly longer growing season, usually 80 to 85 days to fruit harvest. Blooms may appear anytime in a four- to eight-week period. Seedless Types. Seedless watermelon varieties (all are triploid hybrids), also require 80 to 85 days until fruit harvest from time of planting. These will flower within the same four- to eight-week window as main season types.
Growing Watermelons. Sweet, juicy homegrown watermelons capture the magic of summer with explosive taste that puts store-bought melons to shame. Like their cantaloupe cousins, watermelons demand 2 to 3 months of heat to produce ripe fruit, which makes growing watermelons in northern regions challenging, but not impossible. By using plastic mulch to warm soil and floating row covers to trap warm air near plants, gardeners in any part of the country can experience the homegrown goodness of watermelons.
