Watermelon-Crimson Sweet Seed

Watermelon 'Crimson Sweet' is a popular, high-yielding variety known for its bright red, juicy flesh and sweet flavor. Maturing in about 80-90 days, it produces large, round fruits weighing 20-25 pounds with a light green rind and dark green stripes. Thriving in full sun with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil, sow seeds directly outdoors 1 inch deep, spacing plants 3-5 feet apart in rows 6-8 feet apart after the last frost. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Harvest when the underside turns yellow and tendrils near the stem dry out. A delicious, disease-resistant favorite for summer gardens.
