Hair loss is another sign that thyroid hormones may be out of balance. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause hair to fall out. In most cases, the hair will grow back once the thyroid disorder is treated.
However, watermelons need a long, warm growing season to flourish. Knowing when to plant watermelon will help you harvest a bounty of large ripe melons. Watermelons can grow in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 11 and need 70 to 90 days to reach maturity, depending on the variety. Soil temperatures must be at 60- to 65-degrees Fahrenheit at the 4-inch depth, or watermelon seeds will not germinate. Average air temperatures must be between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
In areas where a chill lingers, start the seeds indoors three to four weeks before transplanting them outdoors. Use individual peat containers to avoid disturbing the roots. Plant melon seeds in six-to 12-inch mounds of soil. Sow three to five seeds two inches apart and about one inch deep.Space the mounds two feet apart in rows that are five feet apart. When the seedlings sprout leaves, thin them to 18- to 24-inches apart. Melon vines take up a lot of space and the distance allows air to circulate freely.Apply an all-purpose fertilizer every two to three weeks. Cantaloupes and honeydews benefit from slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5.hen the seedlings sprout leaves, thin them to 18- to 24-inches apart.
