If sowing directly, aim to sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 8.12 feet (2.50 metres).

Watermelon normally tends to reach to a mature height of 45.0 cm [imperial: 1.46 feet] so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.

Your garden has full sun light which is ideal for Watermelon.

Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (12) is not within the ideal known range for Watermelon. The recommended range is between Zone 4 and 9. You may have to reassess this planting for suitability in your garden.

Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.5 and 7.5 as Watermelon likes to be in acidic to alkaline soil.
