Planting Tips for Success

• Plan for pollination: Grow Orangeglo with an open-pollinated watermelon variety nearby to support fruit set.
• Choose the right timing: Plant after the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. In shorter-season areas, start seeds indoors and transplant carefully.
• Give vines room: Select a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil and plenty of space for vigorous vines and large fruit.
• Water consistently: Keep soil evenly moist while plants establish and as fruit develops, avoiding repeated cycles of extreme dryness and saturation.
• Feed thoughtfully: Improve the soil with finished compost and use a fertilizer intended for fruiting vegetables according to the product label.
• Support developing fruit: If you grow vines vertically, use sturdy support and provide individual support for each large melon.
• Protect the harvest: Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and keep fruit off wet soil. Check regularly for pests and disease, using practices suited to your growing area.
• Harvest carefully: Watch for the variety's maturity signs and cut ripe fruit from the vine rather than pulling it.
