Watermelon 'Orange Flesh Tendersweet'

Keep in mind when planting that Orange Flesh Tendersweet is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 6.5 and 7.5 is ideal for Orange Flesh Tendersweet as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 8.12 feet (2.50 metres) and sow at a depth of around 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

As Orange Flesh Tendersweet is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
