Watermelon Charleston Grey 50 seeds

Watermelon charleston grey has delecious, crisp, red flesh. The pale green skinned fruits weigh up to 12 kg. Considered by many as a heirloom watermelon. Fusarium wilt resistant.
Watermelons are a significant source of lycopin (mainly associated with tomatoes), vitamin C and beta carotin.



Sow the watermelon seeds at a temperature of 20-25 Celsius, in good seed compost into small pots, 2 seeds per pot, about 2 cm deep.
Sow March-April.

After the first true leaves developed plant the watermelon into bigger pots before planting out.  Space the plants 150cm x 150cm apart.
Greenhouse production is recommended. Can be grown under your tomato and cucumber plants or grow up on trellies, in wich case the fruits will need a net support to hold their weight.

Water regularly and feed with fertilizer, every 10-14 days. Tomato fertilizer is recommended. For more reliable crop try to leave only 2 fruits on one plant.

Knock on the fruit and if it sounds hollow the fruits are ready to harvest.
