Abundant watering is essential, especially during flowering and fruit development. Sowing: Sow directly in the open field after the last spring frost (when the soil is warm and stable above 18°C), or in a seedbed 3-4 weeks beforehand for a later transplant. Plant the seeds about 2-3 cm deep, spacing them 1.5-2 meters apart. Care: Requires regular and abundant watering, avoiding waterlogging. Balanced fertilization during growth and fruit development will promote greater yield. Protect young plants from temperature changes. Harvest: Watermelons are ready for harvest about 80-90 days after planting, when the part in contact with the ground turns yellow and the tendril near the fruit begins to wilt or dry out. Gently tap the rind: if you hear a dull sound, it's ready!
