Watermelon 'Cream of Saskatchewan'

Keep in mind when planting that Cream of Saskatchewan is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. A soil ph of between 6.5 and 7.5 is ideal for Cream of Saskatchewan as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

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). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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